Access

Located next to the Gouffre du Grêlon, Swiss Jura. From Bois d'Amont, reach the Grands plats du vent. Turn south then at elevation 1266, due east, pass elevation 1290 and just before reaching the Gouffre (1326m), take a very small path in a narrow treeless strip (southwest) that climbs steeply. The cabin is not named but there is a 'cabin' icon at elevation 1345m.

Good to know

Various remarks: - Much used equipment lying around outside and inside, quite dirty (dirty mattresses, mouse droppings, empty bottles... (in Switzerland!)). We slept on the floor. When heating, there are a few leaks inside (snow from the roof). Little firewood available in the cabin but forest all around. - correct insulation - dishes - table, benches - tools available (saw, axe) - 4 bunk places and 2 on the floor
