history
The Albert-Heim-Hütte was inaugurated on September 22, 1918.
Numerous guests were present, including Albert Heim himself.
The location at the foot of the Tiefen glacier was selected based on a suggestion by Albert Heim. The total costs of the hut construction amounted to 28,300.95 SFr. The first building was designed for 18 beds.
In 1936 the hut was expanded to 40 beds for the first time. The next expansion to 80 beds followed in 1970 according to plans by Jakob Eschenmoser . In 2019 the hut was renovated and expanded. The number of beds was reduced to 64 due to increased needs.
