A magnificent alpine cabin, perched above the Rhône valley. The hut offers food and accommodation, as well as coffee and beer, making it a perfect place to relax after the grueling climb from the valley. The cabin is connected by a winding gravel trail, allowing relatively easy access with a variety of bikes, and even better, providing excellent descent. From the cabin, you can enjoy a superb view of the Rhône valley and Lake Geneva. During peak months it will likely be quite busy, so book in advance at tourche.ch
