Huts for overnight hiking in Grindelwald area

Short summary – read this first

Brynmandy is planning an overnight hiking trip for them and their partner, looking for a hut to stay at within 4-5 hours from Wengen or Grindelwald. They have experience with day hikes and are excited to try an overnight adventure in the Bernese Oberland.

Key takeaways:
  • Consider booking accommodations in nearby villages if mountain huts don't appeal to you.
  • Check the altitude of the hikes to ensure safety and suitability for your experience level.
  • The Swiss Travel Pass is a great option for unlimited travel on public transport, making it easier to reach your hiking starting points.

    Can anyone recommend a hut to stay overnight at within 4-5hrs from wengen or grindelwald? My partner and I have hiked many times before but just doing day trips from Wengen averaging 4-5hrs. Would love to experience an overnighter! Thankyou in advance.

    Hello Brynmandy and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

    A nice plan you have here, doing an overnight hike in the Bernese Oberland. However, possible answers depend strongly on the time when you’re planning to come, for weather reasons. Could you share when you will be hiking the area please?!

    For a first inspiration look into combining hikes you find in below links, staying in villages overnight rather than in mountain huts.

    And here an example of a two day hike with overnight suggestion, but keep an eye on the altitude, as said:

    Thankyou Steph! We have accomodation booked in Wengen for 8 nights from 8th October. The hike from first-schynigeplatte looks great, great suggestion. Thanks
