The Brunnihütte is a refuge of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) at 1860 m above sea level. M. am Härzlisee in Brunni in the municipality of Engelberg in the canton of Obwalden in Switzerland .
The hut was built in 1932 with 35 seats, whereby it was still assumed that the hut was located at an altitude of 1900 meters (a wooden sign on today's hut still shows this height). It is probably the only SAC hut with its own chairlift station.
