View of the Bishorn Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

The glacier flows down from the Bishorn. He has pulled back strongly in recent years. Unfortunately he does it like all other glaciers too.

Turtmann Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In 1928, the Turtmannhütte was built on a stony grassy ridge at the top of the Turtmann Valley. Here it stands at an altitude of 2,519 meters, making it the perfect base for touring the Brunegg and Turtmann glaciers. In addition, many exciting peaks in sight - including the Barrhorn. The 3,610-meter-high mountain is the highest Swiss peak, which you can climb without high altitude equipment.
