Switzerland is one large playground, and the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) is at the heart of it all. As one of the oldest and largest mountaineering associations in the world, the SAC hosts adventurers and mountain enthusiasts from all over the globe. With a rich history dating back to 1863, the club is dedicated to promoting mountaineering, protecting mountain regions, and fostering a spirit of camaraderie among outdoor enthusiasts.
Embark on an unforgettable mountain hut trek that delves deep into the heart of the Swiss Alps. On clear nights, witness a breathtaking blanket of twinkling stars like you've never seen before. This challenging yet rewarding adventure falls between a T2 and a T3 trail, offering immeasurable rewards.
Ascend approximately 1000 meters and cover around 10 kilometres 'in' and 10 kilometres 'out' in a circular route, optimizing your views of Switzerland's stunning landscapes. This two-day excursion provides ample time for hiking and exploration. Stay in SAC huts, renowned for their charm and hospitality, offering half board with dinner and breakfast, facilitating connections with like-minded adventurers.
Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the mountain hut, waking up to sightings of majestic ibex or the cheerful whistles of marmots. These encounters with local wildlife enhance the magic of your mountain experience, highlighting the delicate balance between humans and nature in this pristine environment. Each step of your journey deepens your connection to the Swiss Alps and the awe-inspiring beauty they hold.
