The normal approach to the Binntalhütte SAC is an easy, varied hike. In the high season from mid-June to mid-August, the BusAlpin can be used to eliminate the first hour of walking. If on foot to Freichi, the slightly longer, alternative trail on the northern slope is recommendable.
Route description
Fäld (Binn) – Brunnebiel – Freichi
From P. 1519, follow the road through the hamlet of Fäld (1546 m) then turn right. The first curves can be shortened by following a marked path (from P.1589, through P. 1673, then back onto the road again. Follow the lower branch past Alp Brunnebiel (1845 m, also the terminus of the BusAlpin), and continue on to Freichi (1874 m).
Variant: Fäld – Lengenbachgrube – Freichi
From the parking in Fäld (1519 m), follow the road straight towards Lengenbachgrube. From the hairpin bend at P. 1625, a marked hiking trail branches off to the left and follows the S bank of Binntal to Alp Freichi.
Freichi – Chiestafel – Alp Blatt – Oxefeld – Binntalhütte SAC
From Freichi, follow the valley floor. At Chiestafel the path makes a detour northwards to ca. 2045 m before cutting back SE to the gap at P. 2097 (this necessarily avoids the steep narrow gorge S of P. 2117). From the alluvial basin of Alp Blatt (2109 m), cross the bridge over the Binna and follow the path SE to Oxefeld (2193 m). Bear E then climb diagonally up the final slope to the hut.
