In 1928, the Turtmannhütte was built on a stony grassy ridge at the top of the Turtmann Valley. Here it stands at an altitude of 2,519 meters, making it the perfect base for touring the Brunegg and Turtmann glaciers. In addition, many exciting peaks in sight - including the Barrhorn. The 3,610-meter-high mountain is the highest Swiss peak, which you can climb without high altitude equipment.

The Turtmannhütte was built in 1928 and has been regularly renovated ever since. In 2000, it was even expanded. It has room for up to 74 overnight guests, who are well taken care of by the landlords Magdalena and Fredy Tscherrig. Also for day guests, the hut is easily accessible from the parking Vorder Sänntum. Legendary is the homemade Black Forest cake, which tastes even better with the magnificent view of the Turtmann glacier and on imposing mountains such as the Bishorn, the Barrwand or the Diablon massif.

You can find more information about the hut on the website cas-prevotoise.ch/cabanes/turtmannhtte.php.
