A warm bowl of soup, a crackling sunset, and nothing but peaks and silence all around – hut hikes are one of the most magical ways to discover the Jungfrau Region. These five charming mountain lodges are reachable on foot and so cozy, you’ll want to stay the night – or maybe even longer.
Berghaus Bäregg – A panoramic perch above the Lauterbrunnen valley
This small, rustic hut above Wengen sits like a balcony high above the Lauterbrunnen valley. The trail leads you through alpine meadows and past gently babbling mountain streams. At the top, you're rewarded with breathtaking views of the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau trio – and a hearty mountain meal. Berghaus Bäregg is perfect for a relaxed day hike or as a starting point for a multi-day tour.
Glecksteinhütte – Ibex in sight
Steep but rewarding – the hike up to Glecksteinhütte is nothing short of spectacular. After just a few steps of elevation, the view opens up to the valley of Grindelwald below. With a bit of luck, you might spot wild ibex along the way – the area around the hut is known for these graceful alpine creatures. At the top, a cozy atmosphere, a cup of hot chocolate, and an unforgettable sunset are waiting for you.
Schwarzwaldalp – In the Heart of the Rosenlaui Landscape
If you prefer a more leisurely pace, start at the Rosenlaui glacier gorge and follow the historic mountain road to Schwarzwaldalp. The hut lies nestled between the Wetterhorn and Wellhorn, framed by larches and stone pines. It’s not only a scenic place to spend the night, but also a hidden gem for alpine dining – perfect for those who appreciate mountain charm with a touch of comfort.
Lobhornhütte – Views of the Eiger and Staubbachfall
This hut is a true insider’s tip. From Isenfluh, you can reach Lobhornhütte in about two hours. The trail takes you along scenic high paths, past alpine huts and blooming meadows.
