Hiking
The region around the Wiwanni hut offers ideal conditions for mountain hiking. The impressive views of the Valais mountains are unique. Many places here are only accessible on foot and are rich in rare flora and fauna. And of course the hut warden’s homemade apple pie is also a worthwhile hiking destination.
The Wiwanni is part of the Bietschhorn — Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Normal hut approach:
Fuxtritt – Wiwanni hut 1,5 hours
