Ready to take your hiking skills to the next level?

Join us for this guided 2-day T4 hike in the Bernese Oberland, with a night at the Rottalhütte, perched at 2755m.

This trip is led by Celine Kahn, international mountain leader.

What's the plan?
We’ll meet at Stechelberg, Post at 10:00 on Saturday. After a short briefing, we begin our challenging ascent, climbing 1’800 meters to reach the Rottalhütte, nestled at the edge of the Rottal Glacier and at the base of the majestic Jungfrau.

With just 28 beds, the Rottalhütte offers an intimate alpine experience. Enjoy a hearty dinner, a cozy overnight stay, a nourishing breakfast, and some take-away tea to fuel the descent.

On Sunday, we’ll make our way back down into the breathtaking Lauterbrunnen Valley, famous for its sheer cliffs and 72 cascading waterfalls - a perfect ending to a memorable weekend.
