Sustlihütte

The Sustlihütte is located at 2257 m on a sunny terrace high above the Sustenpass road in the Meiental, municipality of Wassen, in the canton of Uri. It belongs to the SAC Rossberg section and is an easily accessible base for hikers, alpinists, climbers and families thanks to its short access routes. The hut is usually open in summer from June to October and in spring from around mid-March to mid-April for the ski touring season; in 2026 it will be closed in the summer season for renovation and extension work; the current opening times are listed on the hut website. The prices for overnight stays include dinner, breakfast and a liter of marching tea, so that guests are catered for without much planning. Day guests can stop off in the cozy dining rooms. Most visitors ascend from the Sustenbrüggli on the Sustenpass road; depending on the route chosen, the ascent takes around 1 to 2.5 hours with an altitude difference of around 350 to 700 meters, with variants via the Leiterliweg with ladders, the path along the Sustlibach, via Oberplatti or the panoramic path from Gorezmettlen. In winter, ski touring routes lead from the Meiental to the hut. The best season for hiking, climbing and family excursions is the snow-free summer, for ski tours the late winter and early spring. As always in the high mountains, current conditions, any closures and the weather forecast should be checked carefully before embarking on a tour. The Sustlihütte was built in 1915 by the SAC Rossberg section. It was later rebuilt in 1970 and extensively renovated in 1992; the current renovation from 2025 continues this history. The SAC Rossberg section is still the owner today.
