Segnespass Mountain Lodge
2.0About
Segnespass Mountain Lodge sits at 2627m on the Segnespass, a key pass linking the Glarus Alps to the Tödi massif. Reach it in 2.5 hours from Elm village (take the PostBus to Äsch, then hike via Äschental valley) or 3 hours from Linthal on the eastern approach. The hut serves as a natural base for traversing between the Glarus and Uri regions.
The lodge operates year-round and accommodates around 40 guests in mixed and private rooms. The kitchen provides hearty three-course evening meals and substantial breakfasts. There's a small bar and drying room for wet gear. Water comes from the pass stream. Mobile signal is weak but the hut has a phone. The hut is SAC-affiliated and meets standard Alpine hut standards—expect bunk beds, basic heating, and shared facilities.
Book by phone direct with the hut. July and August fill quickly; reserve 4–6 weeks ahead for these months. The shoulder seasons (June and September) offer more flexibility. Winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk—confirm with the hut before attempting a winter crossing.
