Chalet de la Berra
2.0About
Chalet de la Berra sits at 1,630m in the Vaud Alps, above the village of Gryon. Reach it from Gryon village (take the train to Le Sepey, then bus to Gryon) via a hiking trail that climbs steadily through forest and alpine meadow for about 2 hours. The approach is well-marked and straightforward, gaining roughly 700m elevation. This makes it a solid day's walk from the valley, or an easier access point if you're linking longer ridge routes in the region.
The chalet operates as a simple mountain lodge with dormitory beds and basic private rooms. The kitchen serves hearty evening meals and breakfasts; packed lunches are available. Water comes from a reliable spring nearby. The hut is open year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and you should call ahead. Capacity is modest—around 30 beds—so it rarely feels crowded. Generator power is available; there's no mobile signal.
Book by phone direct with the hut. Summer weekends (June to September) fill quickly, especially Saturdays; call at least 2 weeks ahead for weekend stays. Midweek stays are usually available on shorter notice. The hut is family-friendly and serves as a base for day walks in the Gryon-Diablerets area.
