About
La Pinte des Mossettes sits at 1,066m in the Vaud Alps near Château-d'Oex. You reach it on foot from Château-d'Oex in roughly 1.5 hours via the valley path alongside the Sarine River. The hut also sits on the Pays-d'Enhaut trail network, making it accessible from multiple directions across rolling pre-Alpine terrain.
This is a working mountain inn rather than a climbing hut, so it offers comfort without spartan conditions. It has room for around 30 guests, serves full meals including local specialities, and provides basic dormitory and private room accommodation. The kitchen operates year-round, though footfall is highest in summer and during autumn weekends when hikers cross the Pays-d'Enhaut region. The hut functions as a genuine village meeting point, not just a staging post.
Book direct by phone. Summer weekends fill quickly, especially July and August—contact 3–4 weeks ahead for reliable spots. Mid-week slots in June or September are easier to secure. The hut welcomes drop-in visitors when space allows, though bed availability is not guaranteed outside booking season.
