Lauteraarhütte
The place
The Lauteraarhütte is a Swiss Alpine Club hut, Zofingen section, located at 2393 m altitude on a rocky spur overlooking the Unteraargletscher, in the Grimsel area (Bernese Alps, municipality of Guttannen). It serves as a base for high-altitude climbs and long high-mountain hikes. 28 beds in dormitories (3 rooms) in summer, plus 12 additional places in the winter room. Staffed season from late June to mid-September. The Zofingen section took over the original building in 1882; the current hut was built in 1931 on the same site and retains the look of that era. Access by postbus to the Grimsel Pass (Hospiz or Summerloch stop), then a long glacier crossing.

A bit of history
La Lauteraarhütte, à 2392 m au bord du glacier de l'Unteraar (Alpes bernoises, commune de Guttannen, canton de Berne), est gérée par la section de Zofingen du Club Alpin Suisse. Le bâtiment actuel date de 1931 et remplace le « Pavillon Dollfuss », construit en 1844. Elle offre 28 places en dortoir durant la saison estivale (fin juin à mi-septembre) et 12 places dans son local d'hiver.
