Hike

The hut is located above Lai da Tuma, at the source of the Rhine, and is surrounded by a breathtaking Alpine backdrop.

The Badushütte is located near the source of the Rhine at 2500 m above sea level. It is the ideal starting point for various circular hikes and summit destinations in the area. The climbing garden at Fil Tuma is only five minutes from the hut.

The ascent starts at the Oberalppass station on a well-marked path towards Pazolastock. On the way, you get a fantastic view of the Survela, the mountains around the Gütsch, as well as the Urserntal. The last section leads along a narrow path on the ridge to the summit. There, hikers are rewarded with a wonderful panoramic view. From Pazolastock, it then continues down to the Badushütte, which invites you to take a break. From the Badushütte, you continue walking through the idyllic landscape to the Rhine source at Tomasee. A cooling dip in the fresh spring water gives the final energy boost for the last stage of the hike back to Oberalppass.
