The Brochhütte is a refuge of the Oberhasli section of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC). It is located in the Reichenbachtal above Meiringen between Rosenlaui and Schwarzwaldalp at 1499 m in the area of the community of Schattenhalb in the Bernese Oberland .
history
The hut was originally a building shack in the Grimsel area for the workers of the Oberhasli power plants (KWO). In 1931 the SAC Oberhasli section bought the accommodation for 4200 francs and transported it, dismantled into individual parts, to its present location, where it was reassembled as a brochure hut. In 1993 it was rebuilt.
In summer 2014 the hut was renovated and modernized. The original structural character was retained and there was still no power connection.
The hut offers 43 beds with duvets in 2 to 20-bed rooms and a family room with 6 beds. The sanitary facilities are integrated in the house.
The Brochhütte is suitable for school classes, seminars, bikers, hikers, families and senior citizens.
