Chlushütte
1.2About
The Chlushütte sits at 1773m in the Entlebuch region of the Bernese Oberland. You reach it from the valley floor in roughly 2.5 hours of steady hiking. The hut serves as a base for day walks and mountaineering in the surrounding limestone terrain. Summer access is straightforward; winter approaches require careful route finding and avalanche awareness.
The hut has 18 beds split between shared dorms. SAC Entlebuch maintains it and provides simple meals—order dinner when you book. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering if you prefer to cook. There's no shower; washing water is available. The hut runs year-round, though winter visits need prior arrangement. Solar power and a wood stove keep it functional in all seasons.
Book well ahead for July and August—the hut fills quickly. Outside summer, you typically have more flexibility. Contact SAC Entlebuch directly through the SAC website to reserve beds and arrange access. Check the hut's conditions before heading out in winter or spring when snow and mud change the approach.
