From Kandersteg train station follow the signs to the Oeschinen lake. Along the mountain path towards Under- and Oberbärgli to the Hohtürli / Blümlisalphütte. The Blümlisalphütte is located five minutes' walk above the Hohtürli, the pass between Kandersteg and the Kiental, at 2840 m. The magnificent view and the sensational sunsets make an overnight stay at the Blümlisalphütte a very special experience. The hut is also the starting point for high alpine routes in the Blümlisalp group and various long-distance trails lead to the Blümlisalphütte. Below the hut and by the Blümlisalp glacier there are well-equipped climbing gardens. The Blümlisalphütte lies within the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Jungfrau – Aletsch.
