About
Alp Tschingelfeld sits at 1,880m in the Tschingel Valley, a quiet corner of the Bernese Oberland east of Blausee. Reach it from Blausee village (30 minutes' walk) or from Oey via the Tschingel Valley trail (90 minutes). The hut is straightforward hiking—no scrambling required—and you can combine it with routes toward Blausee Alp or day trips into the surrounding meadows and forest.
The alp operates as a working dairy farm and simple overnight shelter. Six beds total across one private room (book this if you want guaranteed space for a partner or small group) and shared dormitory beds. Meals focus on what the farm produces: expect cheese, milk, and hearty mountain food. No WiFi. The season runs roughly May through October, depending on snow and weather. Phone ahead to confirm opening dates. This is not a busy hut—you'll rarely encounter crowds, which is the appeal.
Contact the hut directly by phone (details available via SAC/CAS directories or regional tourism offices) or through Blausee village accommodation providers who often coordinate bookings. Book a few days ahead rather than months in advance. Weekends fill faster than weekdays. Winter access is unreliable; plan your visit between June and September for the safest conditions.
