The Hütte Restaurant

10/31/2026

As autumn gives way to winter, it's nearly time for a little rest. The Hütte Restaurant will welcome guests for one final weekend, November 5–7, before closing for its annual winter break.

We're grateful for everyone who made the journey to our little village this season, shared a meal, and supported this special place.

There's still time for one more visit before we settle into the quieter months. Until spring! ❤️

Tomorrow we say, "Happy Birthday, Helvetia, WV." 157 years. 🇨🇭 🇺🇸
Join use for a hike and light refreshments.

Let's celebrate Helvetia Day with a walk through history! 🇨🇭 🍂

In celebration of the Swiss settlers who first made their way to Helvetia to build a new home in 1869, our community will continue the annual tradition of walking a nearly 3-mile loop that follows portions of the original route traveled.

Join us tomorrow, October 20th at 3:30 PM at the Star Band Hall to begin the hike. Afterward, we'll gather for light refreshments and warm apple c***r!

Along the way, you'll find new interpretive signage sharing some of the history of this special place. The signage was developed by the Helvetia Restoration & Development Organization (HRDO) with funding from the Appalachian Forest National Heritage Area (AFNHA).

It's a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the fall landscape, reflect on Helvetia's beginnings, and celebrate the community that continues to call this place home.

All are welcome for the hike and/or refreshments. 🍎🍁

One week from today, our community hosts the annual Helvetia Community Fair. Chocked full of Swiss tradition, agriculture, and dash of Appalachia, the Helvetia Community Fair is beloved and over 100 years old.

We hope you come to celebrate and feel welcome to swing by for a meal at The Hütte. We'll be serving "A Taste of The Hütte" Sampler Plate. Given the number of visitors, no reservations are required. See you next weekend!

The Helvetia Farm Women’s Club are nuturers and caring folks up here in Helvetia that are trying to help our beloved neighbors in Upshur/Lewis County. If you can make a donation of supplies, they are lending a hand. We love these ladies.

Our hearts are with everyone affected by the recent Lewis/Upshur County flooding. Many families have experienced devastating loss, and now is the time for our community to come together and help however we can.

If you’re able, please consider donating non-perishable food, bottled water, cleaning supplies, toiletries, diapers, pet food, or other essential items. Every donation, no matter the size, can make a meaningful difference.

Please drop off all donations at Swiss Roots, Monday–Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We will be taking in a truckload next Friday the 31st of July.

Thank you for showing the kindness and generosity that make our community so special. Together, we can help our neighbors begin to rebuild. ❤️
