Wildstrubelhütte

Rooms

The Wildstrubelhütte offers 68 sleeping places spread over seven dormitories, each sleeping between eight and fourteen people. All dormitories are equipped with comforters and pillows; for reasons of hygiene, you must bring your own hut sleeping bag or silk sleeping bag; some cotton sleeping bags can be borrowed for a fee. Advance reservations are expressly required for overnight stays. Hut shoes are available in the shoe room, mountain boots remain outside the sleeping areas, and no food is to be eaten in the rooms; the official hut rest period begins at 10 pm. Energy is supplied via a line from a nearby military station, the kitchen and dining room are heated with wood and the heat is distributed via a ventilation system. Water is a precious commodity, as it is obtained exclusively from rain and melt water in large tanks; this is why there are deliberately no showers, but two spacious washrooms and dry toilets with elaborate disposal systems. A winter room/bivouac with a total of eight sleeping places and blankets is available in the unattended period after online reservation and serves as a shelter in an emergency; there is no water connection, but there are canisters with melt or rain water, some dishes, wood and electricity. Payment is made in the hut in cash in Swiss francs or euros and, from a minimum amount, also with major credit cards; in the winter room, payment is made by payment slip. There is no public WLAN, but there is mobile phone reception around the hut so that you can make calls in an emergency.

Food and drink

During the serviced season, the Wildstrubelhütte offers half-board with a simple yet hearty three-course dinner and a breakfast buffet with bread, cheese, yoghurt and muesli. During the day, a small selection of hot dishes as well as homemade cakes and drinks are available. The kitchen focuses on typical Swiss hut dishes and regional products, and special requirements can be catered for on request.
