Sewenhütte SAC
3.1About
Sewenhütte sits at 2,150m in the Sewen valley, Uri. Most hikers approach from Göschenen (train station on the Gotthard line) in 3.5 hours, following the Göschenen-Reuss river valley on good paths. The hut also connects south to Tieralpstock and east toward the Gotthard Pass region, making it useful for longer traverse routes through Uri.
The hut has 62 beds across multiple rooms and serves meals daily during the season. A self-catering kitchen is available if you bring your own food. Water comes from a mountain spring. SAC members get a discount on overnight rates. The hut typically opens from June through September, though exact dates depend on snow melt and staffing. Check ahead if you're visiting in early summer.
Book directly with the hut at least one week ahead during July and August. Contact them by email or phone—they respond quickly. Weekends fill faster than weekdays. July is the busiest month. If you arrive without a reservation and beds are full, staff may still help you find alternatives in the area.
