location
The hut is located at 2303 m above sea level. M. at the north foot of the Wildhorn near the Iffigsee . The Wildhornhütte is intended as accommodation before the last stage of the Wildhorn ascent.
Since 1878 there has been a modest refuge under overhanging rocks "by the Crooked Waters" that stuck to the rock like a swallow's nest. In 1899, the Moléson Section of the SAC built a detached wooden hut opposite the old club hut. The site was assigned free of charge by the landowner Wilhelm Hildebrand as an independent, permanent building right .
After a fire, a new stone building was built in 1929 with 60–70 seats at the time. The hut was expanded in 1999, gently renovated in 2014 and today has 96 beds divided into 9 rooms.

The Wildhornhütte can be reached in around 2.5 hours from Lenk via Iffigenalp or from Lauenen via Lauenensee in around 4.5 hours. It can be reached from Sion via the Rawilpass . The hut is open from June to the end of October.
