About
Hexenseehütte sits at 2,588m on the Flüela Pass approach in Graubünden, above the Schwarzsee. Reach it from Davos Dorf via the Flüela Hospiz: 2.5 hours on foot. From the hospiz, the hut is 45 minutes further south across open terrain. You can also approach from the Sertig Valley in 3 hours. The location is exposed and can be windy; check conditions before heading up in bad weather.
The DAV Sektion Rheinland-Köln manages this 50-bed hut as a straightforward mountain shelter. You'll find a dormitory setup, a small common room, and a kitchen stocked for self-catering. Hot water and basic cooking facilities are available. The hut operates year-round but staffing levels vary seasonally: expect full service June to September, and self-service setup outside these months. No WiFi. Mobile reception is inconsistent.
Book direct with the DAV Sektion Rheinland-Köln. During peak season (July–August) book at least 4–6 weeks ahead. The hut fills with hikers doing the Flüela traverse and approaching the high passes to the east. Winter ascents bring avalanche risk; travel with experience and appropriate equipment. Water comes from meltwater sources nearby; filter or boil before drinking outside summer months.
