Hollandia Hut

Rooms

During the season, the Hollandiahütte offers 72 beds in six simple dormitories with comforters; you must bring your own sleeping bag and pillowcase. In addition, there is a winter room with 12 sleeping places, which serves as a simple self-catering room out of season. Overnight stays should be booked in advance; in the event of late cancellation or no-show, the booked services may be charged in full. Inside there is a cozy parlor, a shoe and equipment room with hut shoes to borrow and three indoor composting toilets. There is hardly any running water; drinking water is provided from melted snow or in bottles. The power supply is provided by solar panels and is not sufficient for charging private electronics, there is no public WLAN or emergency telephone, but there is usually cell phone reception in the Swisscom network for emergencies. Payment can be made in cash, with standard credit and debit cards or Twint. As in all SAC huts, the usual hut rules apply with consideration for a good night's sleep, hut shoes indoors and an orderly departure in the morning.

Food and drink

During the day, between around 11:30 and 15:00, guests can enjoy simple hot and cold dishes, for example soup of the day, Valais specialties such as Goms cholera, cheese sausage with bread or homemade cakes. In the evening, overnight guests are served a multi-course dinner consisting of soup or salad, main course and dessert; for breakfast there is a buffet with bread from the Lauterbrunnen Valley, muesli, cheese, jam, coffee, tea and other mainly regional products as well as a small selection of wines from the Valais and Bernese Oberland.

Address

Hollandia Hut
Lötschenlücke
3919 Blatten (Lötschental)
Wallis

Directions

The classic approaches start either in the Lötschental or at the Jungfraujoch. In summer, the ascent from Fafleralp or Blatten via the Langgletscher takes around 6 to 8 hours with an altitude difference of around 1450 to 1720 meters to the Lötschenlücke and on to the hut; the crossing from the Anenhütte is shorter at around 3 to 4 hours and around 880 meters altitude difference. From the Bernese side, the hut can be reached from the Jungfraujoch in around 6 hours via Jungfraufirn and Grossen Aletschfirn or in 5 to 6 hours from Konkordiaplatz. In winter, the ski routes are similar and take between 3.5 and 7 hours depending on the starting point. All variants cross glaciers, are not marked throughout and require careful tour planning as well as the assistance of experienced mountain guides if you feel unsure.

Parking

There are no permanent parking spaces directly at the hut. For access from the Lötschental, the large Fafleralp parking lot with around 245 car and bus parking spaces at the end of the valley has long been the most important starting point, as have the parking spaces in Blatten. The Fafleralp parking lot is subject to a charge, has a barrier-free toilet facility with changing table and, according to the operator, now also offers an e-charging station; there is also another charging station at the valley station of the Wiler cable car. Since the landslide of 2025, however, the road conditions in the rear Lötschental valley have been severely impaired, which is why it is essential to check the accessibility and opening of the parking spaces before a tour via the local information points or current reports.
