The Sustlihütte is located in the romantically wild Meiental. In summer, it is an ideal destination for families and in winter an excellent starting point for a ski route.

On a sunny terrace high above the Sustenpass road lies the Sustlihütte (2257 m above sea level). The over 100-year-old hut is surrounded by green meadows, impressive mountains and glaciers. It is an excellent starting point for all alpine activities. From Chli Sustli (Postbus stop Sustenbrüggli) the path follows the Sustlibach for about 400 m before turning right, gradually getting steeper, following the slope to the hut. Many beautiful spots by the stream invite you to linger!
