Mountain and SAC huts nearby
The Weissmieshütte of the SAC (2,726 m asl) on the west side of the Lagginhorn - with an incomparable view of the 18 four-thousand-metre peaks in the Saas-Fee/Saastal holiday region - is a popular starting point for a variety of tours on rock and ice. The successful interior design creates a cosy atmosphere, and groups or clubs will find a homely hall. Comfortable mattress dormitories ensure a good night's sleep, while the smaller dormitories are ideal for families.
The hut is the starting point for the Weissmies and Lagginhorn, the Fletschhorn, which is almost 4000m high, the climbing routes in the Jegihorn south face, the highest via ferrata in the Alps, the Gsponer Höhenweg and numerous ski and snowboard tours.
What began as a rustic mountain hut continues in the modern mountain restaurant built in 2006. At Hohsaas, 3,200 m asl, you will be spoiled with cheese specialties and excellent regional wines in a familiar atmosphere. The sun terrace offers an unforgettable view of the Monte Rosa massif and other imposing four-thousanders. Speaking of four-thousanders: Would you like to start your mountain tour well rested and be the first to reach the summit? The cozy rooms make it possible!
The Almagellerhütte is situated on the south side of the Weissmies and is the starting point for high mountain, climbing and hiking tours, as well as an excursion destination for day visitors. Rugged cliffs, rushing streams, blue skies, clear views of the Saas peaks, fresh air and a healthy climate create the perfect setting for your stay.
