Blüemlisalphütte SAC

Blüemlisalphütte SAC 2840 m

Hohtürli is a famous col on the «Bärentrek» (bear trek) from Meiringen via Kiental and Kandersteg to Saanenland. The sunsets and the view from the col and the nearby cabin of Blüemlisalp and far into the Mittelland make for an unforgettable experience. High alpine ascents of the Blüemlisalp range, guided glacier tours and the climbing parks «Hohtürlifels» and «Gletschergarten» are only part of the attractions near the often visited cabin.
