Albert-Heim-Hütte SAC 2542 m

Albert Heim was a passionate alpine explorer, geologist and honorary member of the SAC. The cabin named after him is located on a distinctive promontory in the region of Furkapass, at the foot of Tiefengletscher and dominated by Galenstock. It is very popular with families, mountain hikers and one-day visitors. Also recommended for climbing tours on rough granite, the high route above the Urserental as well as ski mountaineering and snowshoe tours in winter.
