Chalet du Soldat
Chalet du Soldat is a remote mountain hut perched at 1,752 meters in the Gastlosen range above Jaun, offering panoramic views of rugged limestone peaks and open alpine pastures. The chalet’s traditional wooden structure sits in striking contrast to the dramatic cliffs behind it, making it a popular stop for photographers capturing high-altitude landscapes. The area is accessible via well-marked hiking trails from Jaun or Abländschen, with the approach offering multiple scenic vantage points along the way. Sunrise and sunset provide the most rewarding light, casting warm tones across the mountains and valley. The site also serves as a base for hikers, with seasonal access depending on snow conditions.
