Before arrival:

  • Remember to book; we don't want you to sleep in the doorway.
  • For visitors with a special diet, we offer vegetarian, gluten- or lactose-free dishes on prior request. In case of allergies, please inquire with our team! Specify this information when you make your reservation please.
  • Please take with you your liner to sleep.
  • If you like, you can request an overnight stay without half board. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to cook by your own means in the hut.


Once at the hut:

  • Check-in between 11:00 a.m. and 05:30 p.m. Thank you for spontaneously presenting your alpine club and guide membership cards to benefit a reduction.
  • Evening meal at 6:30 p.m. - Breakfast depends on the season and the mountain conditions.
  • You can buy a picnic to take away for CHF 16.-, that can be ordered at the hut until 4:00 p.m. the day of your stay.
  • We prefer cash payments, but we also accept credit cards. Please make one payment per group (one invoice per group = one credit card). Payment on account is only possible in exceptional cases and by prior arrangement.
  • We are a high mountain hut, and it follows: no electricity for customers, no drinking water (only melted snow…), no tap water during winter season. You can buy bottles of water, or boiled water. If the weather is fine, you can charge your electronic devices free of charge until 6pm. In the evening or in bad weather, we ask for a contribution of CHF 2.00 per charge (the generator runs on diesel which was brought up by helicopter. Electricity in the mountains is a real luxury...). For safety reasons, we charge one mobile phone per party free of charge in bad weather.
  • Please take your waste back down to the valley.
