The Berglihütte is a 3299 m above sea level. M. high mountain hut of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC). It is located on the Berglifelsen , on the western edge of the Arctic Ocean ( Lower Grindelwald Glacier ), from where the nickname swallow's nest comes from. The refuge was built as the eighth hut of the SAC in 1869. Because of the difficult access over the glacier and the construction of the mountain house on the Jungfraujoch in 1924 and the Mönchsjochhütte in 1979, the mountain hut has lost its alpine importance. As a result, their shape remained unchanged; the previously indicated 30 places in the straw store are now 20 "beds".
Building history
First, the hut was built in Grindelwald in the summer of 1869 . In the autumn of the same year it was then moved to its location on the Berglifelsen. The hut was completed in July 1870. The mountain guides from Grindelwald charged 400 Swiss francs for the transport and the total building costs amounted to 900 francs. In 1883 a drier hut replaced the first building. In 1903 it was renewed again. Hardly anything has changed since the 1930s. From the outside, little more has disappeared than the window in the south facade.
