During summer season, you can drive your car all the way to the refuge and park in one of the two big parking lots available upthere (the town/municipality collects a CHF 7.- tax for parking lot access from June to September). From June to September a bus will drop you off right at our doorstep.
Hiking up to Solalex is also an option, download the hiking map and discover the various routes all leading up to the refuge.
In winter the road to Solalex is closed from the Cergnement parking lot, therefore it is forbidden to drive to the refuge. You can get to the Cergnement parking spot with your car, a taxi, or the the bus Gryon > Alpes des Chaux. Once you are there in Cergnement, you can choose to venture out hiking, ski touring, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or even handstand walking up to the refuge… The shortest route from Cergnement is 3km long and of 300m height difference. Count 40 minutes to one hour depending on your fitness condition, in the most breathtaking scenery anyways.
Not able to walk up to the refuge ? We can also pick you up in our 12-passenger snowmobile starting at 5:30 pm from the buvette de Cergnement (200 meters from the parking lot). The ride takes about 10 minutes. Be sure to dress warmly (when it’s snowing, ski pants are essential to keep you dry!).
Paid service: CHF 8 per person one way / CHF 12 per person round trip. Call us to book your ride.
It is forbidden to park at night on Cergnement, from midnight to 7 am. If you are coming with your car, you have two possibilities :
1/ Book one of the 5 parking spots along the road just before Cergnement, on which you can park for the night for a small fee. Contact the Miroir d’Argentine or the Refuge de Solalex to book.
2/ Park your car for free at the « parking des Châbles », just near the restaurant « L’Ancolie », about 1km away from Cergnement. This part of the road is dangerous for pedestrians because it doesnt have a footpath : we recommend you to take the bus to arrive safely in Cergnement (line 145 or 165 – all schedules are on the CFF Mobile app).
People with reduced mobility can get in contact with the commune de Gryon parking service at +41 79 937 43 40.
