The Windegghütte is a mountain hut of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC), Bern section , in the canton of Bern ( Switzerland ). It is located in the Trift Valley above the Susten Pass route at 1887 m , in a panoramic position and near the Trift Glacier .
history
The first Windegghütte was built in 1891 and was a one-room hut with 12 beds and a wood-burning stove for self-catering. It was mainly used as a hunting lodge. In 1910 it was acquired by the SAC and in 1925 it was moved from its previous location, a snowy hollow, to its current location on the way to the Trifthütte. After the installation, it was designed for 10 people. In 1986 a new main hut was built according to building biology principles with 36 beds, which was inaugurated in the summer of 1987.
In the winter of 1998/99, the old hut could no longer withstand the snow masses. It was replaced by a new small hut in 2001. The transition to the Trift hut leads below the Windegg hut over the Trift bridge (variant 3 of the approach to the Windegg hut).
