Lötschenpass Hut

Lötschenpass Hut sits at 2,690m on the col between the Lötschental and Wallis valleys in Valais. The standard approach is from Fafleralp (1,796m) in the Lötschental, which takes 3 to 3.5 hours of steady climbing on a well-marked trail. From the Wallis side, the route from Gletsch (1,761m) is longer and more exposed. The hut is accessible from late June to September depending on snow conditions.
The hut has 86 beds in mixed and family rooms. Meals are prepared daily, with dinner, breakfast, and packed lunches available. The kitchen serves straightforward Alpine fare. Water is available on-site. There are no showers. The hut operates as a SAC/CAS affiliated facility. The main hiking season runs from July to September, when the pass is reliably snow-free and the hut reaches capacity most weekends.
Book directly by email or phone at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. The hut is quieter on weekdays and in June or September. Contact the hut manager directly to confirm current opening dates and availability, as snow and maintenance can affect the season.
