Reviews
A hut on a rock. Went there for coffee and cheesecake, both were absolutely amazing. The views from the hut are spectacular.
Be aware, that it is accessible only by ice, so crampons are needed.
Amazingly located but at 3500 meters, beware of a couple hundred meters of ice/snow that has to be crossed to reach the hut. Well worth it. Dinner was exquisite
Rooms were spacey and comfortable, 3 meal food course was really tasty and provided with refills.
The staff was really kind too.
All of this for the high price of ~100 per night I think.
It's a shame to pay for dinner water when the cost of such accommodation is so high. 85 euros half board and for dinner they put 1/8 chicken, without water? We understand to pay for water if extra is requested but never before in any …
Very expensive, no drinkable water and they sell at for an outrageous amount.
shower tokens are very expensive too, and even though it says 4 minutes, i timed it under 2 minutes.
rooms are tiny and its impossible to move or pack with all 6 in the room (or even 3).
dinner was good.
beds are comfortable.
Stunning view on the glacier from room (very comfortable beds), fantastic dinner with great value (EUR 25), great atmosphere. One of the best refuges I have been to. Highly recommend staying there when climbing summits in the Monte Rosa massif and otherwise.
great place. food was the best i had on any mountain hut and plentifull too.
Thank you so much for dinner and breakfast, it was amazing after a long way🧡
