About

Skihütte Mülibachtal sits at 1763m in the Mülibachtal valley above the Glarus region. The hut is reached on foot from Elm village (about 45 minutes uphill) or from the Säntis area via the Säntisalp route. Most hikers approach from Elm, following the valley track that gains 600m steadily through forest. The location puts you in reach of day walks across the surrounding ridges and towards the Säntis massif to the east.
The hut holds 40 beds in simple dormitory rooms. Meals are prepared on-site—book your dinner and breakfast when you reserve a bed. Drinking water is available. There is no self-catering kitchen, so you depend on the hut menu. The hut operates year-round but sees heaviest use from June through September and again during winter weekends when the approach can be skied. Expect it to be quieter on weekdays outside summer holidays.
Book directly by phone or email as early as possible for July and August weekends—two months ahead is standard during peak season. Weekday visits and shoulder seasons (May, June, September, October) are easier to arrange with shorter notice. Confirm the current operating schedule by phone before your visit, as staffing can vary outside the main summer season.
