Description
Before hikers can enjoy the welcoming, modern atmosphere of the Dom Hut, they have to conquer a climb of 1,635 vertical metres. This demands a high level of fitness, experience of the mountains and a good head for heights. Parts of the trail are exposed, requiring hikers to make use of metal rungs and safety cables.
In the cabin, new arrivals find themselves in colourfully mixed company – from mountaineers equipped with ropes, crampons and ice axes to mountain walkers who wish simply to enjoy the views in a comfortable setting.
- The trail requires a good head for heights (metal rungs, safety cables)
- Fully renovated Dom Hut reopened in 2013
- Dormitories with duvets, 1 shower
- Starting point for ascents of seven 4,000-metre summits including the Dom (4,545 m)
- Breathtaking view of the Matterhorn on the horizon
