Larochette is also referred to as ‘Fels’ (rock) in German, and the name says it all. The village’s main attraction is its majestic castle ruin, perched upon a rock and overlooking the valley of the White Ernz river, the heart of the Mullerthal Region – Luxembourg’s Little Switzerland. This region’s picturesque charm is reflected in the cosy youth hostel of Larochette.
Located near the centre of the village with its historical market place, the youth hostel provides bright, comfortable double rooms and affordable group accommodation in bungalows and a large chalet. While the hostel is an ideal starting point for hiking, exploring, cycling or mountain biking, it also provides many opportunities for resting and relaxation. Numerous activities are proposed for backpackers, families and groups of all ages. Or you may simply let your soul drift and enjoy your free time.
Furthermore, the youth hostel is equipped with a common room with a fireplace as well as a play corner for children. The in-house ‘Melting Pot’, the in-house restaurant has a large terrace and serves local and seasonal dishes of the day as well as ‘à la carte’ options.
