Anenhütte
3.1About
Anenhütte sits at 2,358m in the Valais Alps, accessible from the Mattertal valley. The most direct approach is from Stalden-Saas, a 4-hour hike gaining roughly 1,200m through open slopes and light forest. The hut also connects to routes through the Saastal, making it a logical waypoint on multi-day traverses rather than a destination in itself.
The hut sleeps 50 across dormitory beds. Meals are served daily, and you can rely on drinking water. Basic accommodation and straightforward food make this a functional base for serious hiking rather than a retreat. The SAC-affiliated hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche stability—confirm ahead if visiting outside summer months.
Book directly by email or phone at least 3 weeks ahead, especially for July and August. Weekends fill faster than weekdays. Half-board (bed, breakfast, dinner) is the standard arrangement. Call to confirm current opening status before committing to a multi-day itinerary, as staffing and conditions can change.
