Die Windgällenhütte befindet sich auf 2'032 Meter über Meer. Sie ist in gemütlichen 2 Stunden erreichbar und liegt mitten im Maderanertal, das  sowohl für die wildromantische Bergwelt bekannt ist als auch für den Wasserreichtum und für die unglaublich vielfältige Pflanzenwelt.

Kletterer, Alpinisten, Bergsteiger-Abenteurer, Familien, Naturliebhaber, Wanderer, Speläologen und Geniesser kommen im Windgällengebiet voll auf Ihre Rechnung. Hier finden Sie alles, was eine SAC-Hütte bieten kann.

Die Hütte ist geeignet als Tagesziel, aber auch als Ausgangspunkt für Outdoorferien. Die Gastfreundschaft des Hüttenwarte-Paares wird von vielen Stammgästen geschätzt.
