Tierbergli hut

The Tierbergli hut stands at 2795 m on a rocky spur above the Steingletscher glacier on the Susten Pass, high above the Gadmertal valley in the canton of Bern. It belongs to the SAC Baselland section and is a classic base for high-altitude tours on the Sustenhorn, Gwächtenhorn and the three Tierberge mountains, as well as for ski and glacier courses. It is usually open from mid-March to the beginning of October; the ski touring season from March to May and the summer months of June to September are particularly popular. During this time, the hut team offers half board with dinner, breakfast and tea on the hike as well as a simple lunch menu and lunch bags for on the way. The approach usually starts at the Steingletscher mountain hotel or at the Umpol parking lot on the Sustenpass road, from where you can climb around 900 meters in altitude over alpine terrain to the hut in around two to three hours, depending on the route. The hut was built in 1942/43 and extensively renovated in the 1960s, 1990s and 2015 without losing its simple, cozy character. Before each tour, the current conditions, weather forecast, any road closures and the condition of the Susten Pass road should be carefully checked.
