Cabane de la Sarouche | Winter

Lovers of ski touring and snowshoeing, the Sarouche Hut awaits you !

They are known locally as the “Bearded ones of the Sarouche". They are Guy, Yves-Julien and Steeve, two farmers and a chef from Château-d'Oex who last winter took on a slightly crazy challenge: to take over management of the Sarouche Hut located in the Braye area, following the closure of the ski lifts. "We wanted to keep things going in the area, to keep a base open for locals and visitors”, says Guy Henchoz, administrative manager of the hut. Two years ago, the place was still used as a restaurant during the ski season, today it can only be accessed by ski tourers and snowshoers.

Located in natural surroundings at 1550 meters above sea level, the hut offers a breath-taking panorama of Château-d'Oex and the surrounding Alps, including the Dents-du-Midi and Mont-Blanc in good weather. Another highlight: the terrace has room for 60 people and is sunny from morning till evening. Visitors will also appreciate the quality of the welcome and the cuisine, consisting of traditional dishes and authentic products from Pays-d'Enhaut: fondue, roesti, cheese crusts, chalet macaroni, pea soup and homemade desserts. All this with folk music playing in the background. The hut is open on Saturdays and Sundays from the 21st of December, as well as Friday evenings, without prior reservation. An original way to spend a relaxing weekend with family or friends.
