Ueschinen Hut Hike
Activity overview
Use the Allmenalp cable car to gain height quickly, then traverse into the Ueschinen valley with breathtaking views of the village and surrounding area. Once in the Ueschinen valley, it’s a steady but easy climb to the Ueschinen Hut, passing through traditional high alpine farms. You will spend the night in the hut, then the following morning your staff guide will bring you back down to the Centre in time for lunch!
