The hut is perched on a rocky outcrop in the centre of the Grimsel region. Popular for classic high-alpine tours and traverses in summer and winter, as well as for sport climbing. The area is known for its climbing programmes for children and young people, as well as ice and alpine training on the Bächligletscher. Natural stone steps, the "lichen path" and an important alpine alluvial landscape along the hut approach are special features of this hut in the Haslital.
