Lötschenpasshütte
The place
The Lötschenpasshütte is a staffed hut of the Swiss Alpine Club, set at 2690 m on the historic Lötschenpass, at the transition between the Bernese Oberland and Valais. It can host up to 80 people and was rebuilt to Minergie standards in 2007-2008, becoming the first self-sufficient, Minergie-certified alpine hut. The hosting team is well known for its professionalism and warmth. The site is a major waypoint on the great traverses between Kandersteg and the Lötschental, and gives access to several climbing and ski-touring routes on the surrounding glaciers.
Getting there
Access from Kandersteg via the Gasterntal, or from the Lötschental via the Lauchernalp.
