Monte Rosa Hut

Name: Monte Rosa Hut

Canton of Valais, Switzerland · built 1894

The Monte Rosa Hut (Monte Rosa Hütte) is a mountain hut located near Zermatt on the Monte Rosa massif (up to 4,634 m (15, 203 ft)) and above the Grenzgletscher (Border Glacier) sitting on a glacier-free rocky part called Untere Platte at an altitude of 2,883 metres (9, 459 ft). It is owned by the Swiss Alpine Club. The hut is the start of the normal route to the summit and other mountains in the area. The first hut was built in 1894–1895 just next to the then still much higher Border Glacier at an altitude of 2,795 metres (9, 170 ft). A completely new building was inaugurated in 2009, a hi-tech, energy-wise almost self-sufficient, environmentally friendly mountain hut based on wood with an aluminium shell.
