FründenhüttePhoto: sac-cas.ch
NOTICE: Our season is over, the hut is closed and does not have a winter room. The hut trail is no longer maintained and the path protections have been removed.
One thousand meters directly above Lake Oeschinen. The hut for experienced, sure-footed mountain hikers and high-alpinists is surrounded by rock and ice. Once surrounded by the Fründen Glacier, its tongue now reaches just behind the hut and forms an attractive landscape with small moraine lakes. Partly exposed sections on the direct hut trail.
Follow the signpost from the train station to Lake Oeschinen. Along the lakeshore via Underbärgli to the entrance to the Fründenschnur. The hut trail (alpine mountain trail T4) through the "lower Fründenschnur" is imposing and very impressive. It is excellently developed and secured. A highlight among the hut approaches! No climbing skills are required, but sure-footedness is necessary. The section through the "lower Fründenschnur" is fully secured with a wire rope. Self-protection with a via ferrata set and helmet is recommended by experts!
INFORMATION SPITZER STEIN
The approach to Fründenhütte via the southern lakeshore (normal approach) is currently closed. The closure is expected to last longer.
