During this round trip, you will hike the beautiful Turtmann valley up to the Turtmannhütte, where you have a spectacular view of glaciers, impressive waterfalls and white mountain peaks.

• Starting point: Parking lot Sänntum
• End point: Parking lot Sänntum
• Length: 9.4km
• Duration: 3h50
• Ascending altitude: 744m
• Descending altitude: 744m

From the parking lot, there are several ways to the hut. Take the one, which starts on the same side of the river as the parking lot. The first part of the path will lead you through the forest until you reach the tree line. After the steep zigzag path you arrive at an intersection. Continue by following the yellow signs to Turtmannhütte SAC. From now on, the path is quite flat and you can already enjoy the amazing view of the valley and the glaciers. At the end, you need to climb another few meters in altitude before reaching the hut.

Hint: Eager to see more of this impressive landscape? Extend this one-day round trip to a two-day roundtrip by sleeping in the Turtmannhütte (reservation needed in advance) and climb on the next day the highest hiking peak of Switzerland, the Barrhorn (3610m). All details to this extension can be found in our post “Barrhorn 3610m – Climb the highest hiking peak of Switzerland”.
