Essertze mountain pasture

At the beginning of August, it is the transhumance to the pastures of Essertze after having grazed for almost 50 days at Mandelon. Close to the mountain pasture, the Essertze hut welcomes hikers and visitors to the Gouilles d'Essertze, a protected natural site of remarkable wild beauty with its 7 small lakes.  

The Cabane d'Essertze is managed by the Ski Club Hérémencia. It is located at an altitude of 2191 m, in the commune of Hérémence. Open from the end of June to mid-September, it welcomes you for a drink, a bite to eat or even to spend the night.

The small restaurant features local products. In season and depending on the availability, it is also possible to buy tommes and serac from the Mandelon mountain pasture at the Cabane.
The hut is looked after by volunteers during the summer.

Accessible on foot or by car, it is located in a magnificent setting in the heart of the Valais mountains.

Please note! The Cabane has a poor internet connection and will only accept cash payments (Swiss francs)!
