Again, two school classes were allowed to spend a few unforgettable days with us in August and September as part of the “Alpine learning” project. It is always a great pleasure for us to spend time with such interested, respectful and friendly young people and to bring them closer to life in the mountains and the special features of a mountain hut. Thank you and your dedicated teachers, companions and mountain guides for the great time!

In summer 2020 there will be over 50 “Million stars hotels” in operation throughout Switzerland: from July to October 2020 there was also a Millions stars bed on the Lötschenpass. This is now winter-proof, but will be available again in summer 2021.
The star bed (a double bed) is a few meters in front of the Lötschenpasshütte in the great outdoors and offers a unique view of the mountain peaks of the Valais and the small lake.
It is equipped with:
- cozy blankets with warm bed bottles
- modern infrastructure with toilets and showers are in the hut
- in case of cold or bad weather conditions, two beds are reserved in the mountain hut in a shared room.
Book an unforgettable night at 2700m under millions of stars and with a clear view of the Bietschhorn and the Valais four-thousand-meter peaks.
We are also represented on instagram and regularly post current pictures of the Lötschenpass and hut life. We would be happy if you followed us too.
