Club magazine
The UTO is the oldest association magazine of the Swiss Alpine Club and thus played a pioneering role. Its layout and the number of issues per year have changed again and again over the course of the almost 100 years of its publication, the current edition (No. 4/2019) is 7500 copies.
Huts
The Uto section operates seven SAC huts , these offer simple accommodation for mountaineers, climbers, hikers, nature lovers and, increasingly, for families with children and for mountain bikers.
