View of the Rosenlaui Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the edge of the tree flora, as the last trees accompany you before entering the mineral universe of the high mountains, you can see the magnificent Rosenlaui glacier rising up before you.

Dossenhütte Hut Trail (2,663 m)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Hüttenweg to or from the Dossenhütte (SAC) is certainly one of the most exposed and spectacular hut routes in Switzerland. It leads over steep rocky steps to the foot of the Rosenlaui glacier. Caution: when it rains, the path becomes impassable. Free of vertigo and safe walking in the terrain is a prerequisite. Children should be taken to the rope.

Dossen Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

“Between heaven and earth”: this is how the hut south of the Engelhörner is often called. It is located on the narrow Tossengrat (new entry on the map), between Rosenlaui and the Ürbachtal, with sunrises and sunsets of extra quality. It is an attractive summer destination (no winter lodge) for experienced hikers, with an impressively scenic access, partly secured with wire ropes and ladders. Ski tourers can use the Rosenlauibiwak.
