Monchsjochhutte in Fieschertal

45 minutes from Jungfraujoch over the Aletsch Glacier, then back in half the time.

Kind of a rough hike with the altitude, but worth it

We were on the Jungfraujoch with guests and wanted to enjoy our lunch with them in the Mönchsjochhütte. Unfortunately nothing came of it. When we entered the hut and wanted to go to the dining room, the hut warden's dog was already greeting us from the KITCHEN!!! Since the hut warden's dog was on a leash in the KITCHEN, but the leash was so long that it blocked the passage to the restaurant, I took my dog ​​in my arms. Although my dog ​​is friendly, or perhaps because of it, I wanted to avoid an encounter on a leash in the narrow hallway. When the hut crew discovered us with a dog, we were immediately told in an unfriendly tone that we couldn't eat with them with a dog. We should keep our dog on a leash in the hallway or outside; dogs are not allowed in the restaurant. At that moment I was a little angry at the injustice. The hut warden's dog is allowed to stay IN THE KITCHEN, but our dog is not welcome in the dining room... I understand that dogs are not welcome everywhere, no problem, really! Write it outside, ban your dog from the guest area and especially from the KITCHEN! I don't want to hear that it's your dog's home and that's why he's allowed to do this. It was our third visit to the Mönchsjochhütte with our dog. The previous two went harmoniously and we were also treated to a friendly welcome with a dog! When you read the more recent recessions, our experience seems to fit the bigger picture. We hope to see a new cast at the hut next time!

Best place to look over the Alpines chain

Really cool place to get away from the crowds at jungfrau and enjoy a nice meal and a beer with an incredible view. If you’re up for the hike it’s worth it

Very nice. Only the beer was warm 🥴

Crocs mandatory 🤣 (and provided by the hut)

Great and fine food, nice staff and a fantastic view

Unfortunately we were not able to eat in this place because it was full but I still rate 5 stars for the location and the view

Still breathtaking. But the ice is diminishing. Climate is really changing

Very well made hiking hut with viewing platform.

It's a great view, and you got a nice walk to there in the snow

Absolutely incredible views and trek up, definitely worth it!

Great place to take a break. Älpler mackeroni cost 20 CHF but you don't treat yourself to anything else. Very nice people at the hut.

What a day. If you are fit enough then this a bucket list place to visit. Felt like a win getting there and the views are world class. A good selection of food, welcoming staff and you can stay there overnight.

What a great hike from Jungfra .... beware food runs out and closes mid afternoon.. so get your order in ASAP.

Oh well. The “pea soup” was flavored water, without peas or anything else. Otherwise, the hut is nice and the prices are appropriate for the region and location and no surprise. The beer tastes good. Our table neighbors also left 2/3 of their plates.

Beautifully located hut that can be reached via an easy walk from Jungfraujoch. The selection of food and drinks is limited, the prices are high, but the view up here is fantastic.

Good hut in general, nice that they have toilets separate from main building so there's no smell in the common area. Food's quite good, and birchermuesli at breakfast is a nice thing to have. Staff attitude is divisible though - some of them are super friendly and helpful, some are arrogant and not willing to help much. Hopefully there's more of the former. Note that they might not have running water for washing up in hot season.

A well maintained busy hut on a well sign posted route providing excellent opportunities for acclimatising and mountaineering. Efficient guardians and good quality food and facilities.

Super cool place with beautiful views over all kinds of glaciers and of course several high mountains.

Beautiful hut, easily accessible from the Jungfrau top of Europe. Opens at 10 - you should be there to get a seat. Afterwards you'll have enough influencers 😉

Great place and destination to rest and eat with comfort on 3657m

Outrageous prices and a hut owner who constantly gives you the feeling that you are not welcome here as a mountaineer.

Great high mountain hut. Nice hut hosts. Unfortunately heavily flooded with lowland tourists during the day

Unhelpful disaster. They have successfully ruined our plans for holiday after traveling accross Europe, paying 1000€ for lift to Jungfraujoch, arriving at noon to half-empty mountaineering hut by explaining us that there is no possibility to sleep over, even on floor, paying more, helping out, whatever. You have to book a day in advance, pay and confirm, otherwise no chance in hell they will let you sleep over. Do not forget that if you really have to go to this hut. We had to cancel our trip.

A beautiful cabin in a wonderful location. We spent 4 days here for mountain climbing. The food is okay, but there are definitely better huts. What we found really lacking was the friendliness of the staff. There were several situations in which you simply felt unwelcome. For example, we sat a little longer at breakfast because of bad weather, then the hut warden shouted at us that we should clear up, after all breakfast is only available until 7. It is often simply the way something is communicated, not necessarily the content. But you just have the feeling of being a burden to the staff on site. Another factor is the water supply. We knew that there was no running water at the hut, we didn't expect that. The only realistic way to get drinking water is to buy 1.5l bottles in the hut for 12 francs. We had expected a higher price, but for a stay of 4 days for 5 people, that is a significant cost factor. It would be desirable if a difference could be made between restaurant prices and basic services, or at least some kind of volume discount would be possible. That would certainly increase the willingness to drink more schnapps in the evening. All in all, we will definitely look for somewhere else to stay next time.

Super nice place. The hike to the hut was fantastic when the weather was nice. The weather situation was a bit critical/uncertain today. We were advised to go back downstairs. Absolutely fine and correct, we were very grateful for the honest advice, you know your stuff. The way the staff on site communicated with us was extremely unfriendly and unfriendly. It felt like we had to apologize for our presence.

Mountain hut at 3657 Meters Above sea level. From Jungfraujoch, it's a 45 min hike over the glacier (secure route). High altitude means low oxygen! Be careful with sunny weather not to be dehydrated!. Once you arrive at the hut,the friendly staff are there to get you comfortable with a good meal and a nice glass of wine. From here the climb to Mönch takes about 2 hours. This hut is great for a starting base to climb the many 4000+ meter peaks .

Lunch is great but they try to ward off people from staying the night. Least bit of weather and they will start to tell people that they are not cooking and it is too late or that they strongly discourage you from coming. Need to acclimatize to altitude and having a place to stay at this elevation was badly needed but their laziness got in the way. You don’t know what a great thing you have. Do not waste it.

Exceptional nature at 4000 with altitude. The hike to the Mönchsjochhütte was great, but the altitude is already noticeable. Unfortunately there were too many people there.

A beautiful place that suffers greatly from the commercialism of the Jungfraujoch. It disturbs the intimate atmosphere of high mountain tourists. Incredible views.

Amazing! We loved our lunch. When we arrived, around 11:10 AM, we were the only people in the restaurant. It was not tiny and it’s literally in the middle of nowhere but the food and the presentation were impeccable!!! Order kaseschnitte (bread with ham(?) covered by cheese with egg on top. OMG it was soo delish! Spinach soup with sausage was good too but I would definitely order kaseschitte instead. The cheese and salami plate was very good and amazingly assembled. We devoured it in two seconds. 😂. Hike to this place was brutal and took us sooo long to get on top. On way back, we just slid down on our feet with each step half way running and got to the bottom really fast. I loved removing our shoes and putting crocks on which cutely put in shelves. People who work there love the cabin and it shows. ❤️

Go here because you can, not because it is easy. Go here for the view, not because the service nor the food is great, but the food will taste amazing because you deserved it and because of the view, not because it is cheap or gourmet. Takes 1-1,5 hours to go up and 30-45 minutes to go down. It is a hard walk in thin air - bring plenty of water - only way to refill is expensive purchases.

We ate very well in this cabin nestled at an altitude of 3600m which we had reserved to spend the night between two climbs. Vegetable soup, salad, steak and polenta. The dormitories are OK, however there is no possibility (apparently) to obscure the windows so in summer, it will be light until 9:30 p.m. in your room. Quite simple breakfast.

We called at 3 p.m. and asked if we could still come. The Austrian hut helper's first reaction was: "What, today?" Then they told us that if we came, even though we hadn't registered until 6 p.m. the day before, we would have to pay an extra 20 CHF per person. When we asked why, they couldn't give us a satisfactory answer. The hut was almost empty (80 places available). If we asked, they would have taken money from us if we had just stayed overnight without half board, which definitely wouldn't have meant any additional expense for them. I've never seen guests treated this way anywhere, especially when the house is almost empty anyway. However, different laws apparently apply at the Mönchsjochhütte. By the way, the reason for booking at short notice was unexpectedly bad weather, which meant we were stuck at Jungfraujoch and couldn't go to the Finsteraarhornhütte as planned. They let us cancel for free. Apparently the attitude there is a bit more flexible and mountaineer-friendly. What the Mönchsjochhütte did, however, was blackmail. By the way, we weren't the only guests who were bothered by the hut warden's rules that day. Two other groups got into an argument with him because he was unwilling to serve breakfast at the requested time. He then became a bit loud and aggressive. Dear alpinists, this hut obviously doesn't need you. I want them to earn their money with coffee and cake for walkers coming from Jungfraujoch. But please look for other accommodation.

Great reward after a hike. Yummy food. Friendly staff. Insane views. However, if you want to climb to the hut, I highly recommend to wear a proper hiking boots, otherwise it might be a bit dangerous.

Didn't stay at the inn, but the view is definitely worth the price of the pass and the hike up!

A brilliant place almost 3700 m above sea level. Very good local Jungfrau beer.

Great experience walking over the glacier, the hut is cosy and welcoming even though we were touristing rather than staying as a base for the nearby mountaineering!

A must hike place from Jungfraujoch

Yummy food (got the soup with sausage, and macaroni), and there was a friendly dog inside. The path up was blocked with snow though, and so was a bit dangerous as you could slide into some metal roofing of a structure. You need to take your hiking boots off and change into provided slippers.

Amazing food... Worth the trip up there. Such an accomplishment getting there!

The views were spectacular but the food sucked.

Good stop for a drink and some snacks with stunning views from the cabin and the hike up and down the trail.

Super nice team, we ate well and the rooms were absolutely fine. Attention, no running water on site Unfortunately the weather wasn't great, but the hut can't help it🤣

Beautiful, classic mountain hut in the best sense of the word - simple, pragmatic and functional. :-)

Snowing, so there is no access to the outside. Can't believe the weather is still so bad in May?!

Great food, slept better than ever, and incredibly nice hut staff and tried very hard - they built steps in the snow to make it easier to get up, they gave us great advice when bad weather was forecast and even allowed us to make tomorrow's reservation to cancel due to bad weather - they were very knowledgeable about conditions etc and were really nice, we thought it was a real shame that we had to leave earlier, but we'll be back! 💪🏽I don't have to write anything about the perfect location for various tours and perfect for returning from Mönch or Jungfrau 💪🏽☀️

Super friendly caretaker, stunning view. Itinerary for the Mönch

Münchjoch hut. It's clean and nice. It's about 60cf for just lodging without half board.

Worthwhile little “detour” from the Jungfraujoch to the Mönchsjochhütte. It's a "walk" in terms of the route, but you shouldn't underestimate the considerable altitude! Only recommended for inexperienced people when the weather is absolutely clear. Otherwise a great mountain hut with very friendly staff. The prices are very fair, the location is breathtaking (weather permitting)...

A magical place in a spectacular location

I was scheduled to stay for two nights on the tour, but the travel agency canceled due to the novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China. When can I go? I want to go soon.

I went with my sneakers without any information, but the snowstorm and wind that I couldn't see even an inch in front of me made me shed tears and runny nose. The stone path leading up to the last mountain hut is dangerous, so be careful.

If you are going to do the mountains and are looking for a refuge for mountaineers, this is not your place.

It’s worth a visit, and then go to China to be more beautiful

The last order had already been taken, so I could only order soup. Everything was great. Thank you for the meal.

Cabin at the end of the trail. With a cafeteria to take a breath and return.

we registered at 11 a.m. on the day of arrival. So we only had leftovers for dinner, meaning no meat like the others, no salad, dessert from the day before. This at full price. I've never felt so unwelcome in a cabin.

If it's open, it's definitely worth the adventure.

Reachable from Jungfraujoch in approx. 45 minutes (depending on your fitness level, footwear and ability to endure the thin mountain air). Cozy mountain restaurant at 3657m altitude.

The way to the hut is worth it.

The (?) Rösti is a poem... the best I've ever eaten... and the staff was very friendly... we felt comfortable

Very warm and cozy place for a quick lunch!

This refuge is a disgrace for European alpinism. Really.. If you ask for anything the 'host' gets very rude and agitated. So there is no breakfast earlier than 7:00..?! Also the breakfast is very limited, you're not allowed to ask for more. The marching tea from the thermos is cold. For diner they serve half a cup of soup and the main course was simply not enough, for any alpine activity. The host doesn't mind spitting out racist comments to guests who try to talk about their dissapointing experience. All in all the worst experience ever. DO NOT GO HERE.

It is very disappointing from this beautiful hut. That it is run by such unfriendly and unplanned staff. It's a real shame ☹️

Beginner hiking in the mountains, you can see glaciers when you walk in the snow, and there are beers and hot soup in the hut at the top

The last hut that can be reached without climbing equipment

A really cool place. Accessible via the longest glacier in Europe.

Beautiful place in the middle of the mountains

The hut is sensational from the outside, the path is strenuous but a dream. The rest is a catastrophe. The hut warden is cheeky, arrogant, inflexible and not a host. The guests who were up in the hut too early - the kitchen is only open from 11.30 a.m. - were insulted as a...holes and many were shouted at if that was normal and they had the feeling that they would have their drinks in 10 minutes and get food. Someone like that is a disgrace for Grindelwald, the Jungfrau region and the entire hospitality industry. If I could I would give it a minus 10. I have never seen so many disappointed and frightened guests.

Did not sleep there. Hiked up there to have lunch. Its the best way to experience the glacier.

Easily accessible on foot from the Jungfraujoch station (45 minutes). There is a restaurant in the hut. Overnight stay is possible with or without half board (dinner, breakfast and marching tea). Toilets are available, but no showers. There is no drinking water in the toilet

A beautiful, casual atmosphere with a reasonable cost, including dinner and breakfast and a place to sleep Water and electricity are limited and it is better to bring a wet towel with you

It's a short but strenuous hike from Jungfraujoch to get to the hut, especially if the snow is slushy. Worth it for the views and sense of accomplishment. The return hike is much easier as it is mainly downhill.

Tasty tasty food and fantastic staff. Was definitely worth the hike for the food and beer 😁

What a failure, what an incompetent hut keeper. He has no idea about planning, organization and guest relations. On a beautiful weekday, dozens wanted something to eat and drink and were turned away. The kitchen is completely overloaded. The drinks delivery only worked after a long wait. The entire staff wandered around aimlessly. How can that be? I have never seen so many disappointed guests. So go back to Grindelwald as quickly as possible, where there are many good restaurants. The Mönchsjochhütte is simply a flop, and has been for years.

The Mönchhutte is reached by walking from the arrival of the Jungfrau train. It is one of the most majestic landscapes in Switzerland. The walk is not very long, 1 km.8, the altitude difference is modest (200 m) but as we are in the peaks of the Swiss world (3500m), we walk more slowly, which allows us to marvel continuously.

Spectacular. You can sometimes see mountaineers on the slopes climbing the monk (on the Photo can be seen opposite the Trugberg). However, it was really crowded with many tourists who had dared to hike on the glacier. If you want to buy drinks or something to eat, you have to plan your time accordingly.

It is a refuge that is mainly nourished by tourists who climb the beaten track of the Jonchgfrau. Forced to do the Monsch and 4000 others in the area. Also to stop to eat or sleep after coming down from the Eiger. The food, catering, rooms and correct stool toilet. What cannot be understood in these times is the lack of hygiene to be able to wash hands and teeth. It doesn't even have hand gel dispensers. You can only wash your hands, face and teeth with bottled mineral water.

Beautiful hut location, wonderful view, there is also nice hospitality, and toilets can't be any different up here. It is worth it! - But WHY isn't there even a cheese sandwich or ANYTHING cold at 3:05 p.m. after you've fought your way up from Jungfraujoch for an hour through the snowfield at over 3,000 m? Instead, 2 Rivella, 2 small bags of chips and 1 bar of Ovo chocolate for 25 SFR! Bottom up!

What a great cabin, stayed 1 night and enjoyed the sunrise. Good food and very good service. The bed in the dormitory was absolutely fine, there was a warm duvet that was needed as it is cold there at night.

We hiked there in a bit more than an hour, beautiful landscape, deep love for the mountains and the glacier! Knowing that the hut would shut its kitchen at 3pm we get there at 14:35 certain that we could find some food and beverages. I ask the waitress ( very young and really cold) where the menu was and she told me THERE’S NO MORE FOOD! Meanwhile all her colleagues where cleaning the kitchen…25 min before the end hour. Do they really want to make me believe that on the first and most important week of august, the only hut on the Jungfrau runs out of food so early and it just happens that all the staff was thoroughly cleaning the kitchen? They were unwelcoming, cold, didn’t want to work and serve the clients…we had the feeling we were bothering them! A real shame for such a beautiful and unique place led by laziness and lack of respect for those who finally pay their salaries!

Exceptional landscape, refuge overlooking an immense sea of ​​ice. Accessible by a snow-covered path but marked and secure for non-mountaineers.

From the Sphinx Observation Deck, we put on crampons and walked across the glacier. I only rented a toilet at the hutte, but it was a really nice hutte. If you go to the Sphinx Observatory, be sure to walk to the Hutte. You can go there with ease!

Funny how bad and expensive was the food... 24CHF Spaczle the size of a cat food bowl which we could not finished after a long hike, exceptionally bad ... and the beer was warm ... nice views

Impressive hut in middle of the mountains. If you go to Jungfraujoch, you can hike there i around 45 minutes (one way)

Just a great place with very nice people, when you reach it, the view is simply amazing!

Good food options to warm your belly and recharge after the steep altitude hike up

I walk 1 hours to reach it ..it amazing view

The most top hut and tne landscape so awesome.

You have to change your shoes to local flip-flops - a disaster! Wear someone else's shoes and leave yours unprotected downstairs! Especially since you walk to the shelter on clean snow!

Must have the soup with sausages after a successful hike

Fantastic beautiful place with lovely service

Fly past with the helicopter 🚁 a great excursion destination. 🥰🇨🇭

Well worth the visit. Simply hiked here and ate before returning to the main mountain base. Food was good and priced well considering the remote location.

Ascent and descent to Mönch 4107 m above sea level (mountain in Switzerland).

Great place away from the big tourist flow at Jungfraujoch. We had spaetzle, soup with cheese and potato salad with wienerli. Nice personel. It slows you down. Gladly again.

Well worth the time to visit if you check the weather before going.
