Protip: you can get a hearty discount if you are the member of a mountaineering club, and can prove it) They fly food in via helicopter, and this is included in the price. (we had Salmon) They fly out people with altitude sickness. They sell alcohol! (best beer I ever had was my "arrival beer" here, so crisp, so refreshing!) They can accommodate up to 100 people. The furnishings are the perfect mix of functional, stylish, and minimalist. The beds are comfy! It's nicer than any place I've ever lived in, in the front country! It makes climbing Mt Blanc feel more "cushy vacation" than "miserable slog/sufferfest".

Well what an adventure. Simon and I walked about 10 miles up a mountain to reach this remote…read morerefuge. The ascent takes you through rocks and chains help you up in places - virtually mountaineering although I managed it in plimsolls and there is a cafe for refreshments half way up before it gets tough. My heart was pounding after this extreme walk and I was relieved to see La Cabane de Susanfe's flag in the distance. Even though we did this walk in June, it was fairly cold at this height and one can see snow on the same level. We had a delicious dinner of soup and curry with an apple puree dessert and except for the latter were given 2 servings of each. One can purchase drinks. There is an Aga in the dining room and the warmth was so welcoming. A few chairs are outside for smoking and a dog prowls the estate. Upstairs one sleeps in a dormitory which gives one a bit of pressure to sleep and not make any noise and with my heart pounding I nodded off eventually. Heavy rain fell on the roof -Simon and I were so lucky to have missed that on our way up. A real alpine experience. I thought the breakfast could have been better as it just consisted of some bread, jam and coffee before we walked back down. Well done to the owners for living in such a difficult to reach, isolated location to provide this experience for people.

Hands-down the best meal I've ever had on a mountain anywhere, ever. The refuge is off-piste to…read moreskier's right of La Herse or the Grand Montets cablecar. In addition to the off-piste route, you can take moderate cat-tracks to it from the piste, but there is no getting back on piste without either hiking out, taking a steep red back down to the Lognan trail to the base, or taking more off-piste back to the Lognan trail. The refuge is tiny, so you really need to call to make reservations beforehand (day before or morning of) in order to make sure you have a table. This is a beautiful old school refuge, with cozy stone walls, exposed wood beams, and old wood tables. I can't imagine a more Alps feel being possible. The menu seems to change daily, and on the day we were there they had something like oven-baked French bread pizza in cast iron skillets, but that's not doing it justice at all. The bread was cut and layered into the bottom of the pans, slices of fantastic cheese placed on top, then topped with a variety of options (e.g., tomatoes, asparagus, etc.) and baked until the cheese was bubbling. To wrap up the meal, they have a decent selection of tarts, tortes, and other sweets. My rhubarb tart was amazing, with a perfect crust and enough rhubarb for flavor in the tart without being too bitter, and my friend's blueberry tart disappeared damn near instantly, so I assume that it was also good. Great food, great views, and a great vibe; what more could you want from a ski hut in the Alps?

If you are reading this review, you have probably already made the journey to Jungfraujoch (or are…read moreplanning on making it), which means you have spent quite a bit of money getting there. While doing your research, you have probably realized that all of the food options in the main area (the part by the train station with the viewing platform and gift shops) are also very expensive. While there are nice views from many of the restaurants in that main area, none of them are really all that good, they are very crowded, and all of them will set you back quite a few Francs. However, if you are up for a little hike through the snow, you can enjoy a peaceful alpine cabin with even better views than the main Jungfraujoch building, more authentic and tasty food options, and better prices. Like most worthwhile goals, getting to the "Mönchsjochhütte" is not an easy task, but the reward is great. After all, you are hiking to the highest occupied hut in Switzerland at 12,000 feet (or 3,658 meters) above sea level! Yes, once you leave the main building, you will be trudging through the snow up hill for over an hour (they say the hike is 45 minutes, but unless you are acclimatized to the altitude and in amazing shape, you'll probably take longer than that...make sure to wear sunscreen too!). Along the way, you will be treated to amazing views of the surrounding mountains and glaciers, and the path is groomed daily to ensure the hike will be safe. Once you get to the hut, you'll find very few people, breathtaking views, and a truly authentic Swiss mountain dining experience (as well as bragging rights). I will mostly let the photos I took of my dining experience speak for themselves (they should be below). However, I will say that the coffee was really, really good, and the home-made potato and vegetable soup with pork sausage was super tasty and filling. The hut is heated, has comfy seating, and you will be able to charge your phone/camera. You can also stay overnight at the cabin in very rustic accommodations for less than 30 Francs per night...a total bargain! The trip back to the main building is much shorter: it's downhill the entire way, so you can probably make it in 30 minutes if you are in reasonable shape. After arriving back at the super touristy main area, you'll quickly realize that your hike to the Mönchsjochhütte and your lunch will be your fondest memories of your trip to the Jungfraujoch.
