Would you stay in a remote hut beneath the Gspaltenhorn? 🏔️

Gspaltenhornhütte sits in a rugged basin above the Kiental beneath glaciers and steep limestone peaks.

It requires a detour from the standard Via Alpina and Bernese Oberland Traverse stages and rewards hikers with a more remote high-mountain experience.

The dramatic setting suits experienced walkers wanting to extend their time above the valleys.

Would you add this hut variation to your traverse? Tell us below 👇

Log in to The Hiking Club platform to view accommodation details, check the latest booking status and add Gspaltenhornhütte to your Bernese Oberland itinerary.

When day visitors leave, sunset and sunrise transform this celebrated viewpoint into an unforgettable overnight experience.
