The Oberaletsch Hut, a solid stone house at the foot of the Fusshörner at 2640 m above sea level, lies in the middle of the alpine glacier area of the UNESCO World Heritage Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch.
The ascent starts at the mountain station of the cable car (2094 m above sea level) and leads via Hotel Belalp down over the famous "Steigglen" to the alpine pastures of the Outer Aletschji. After crossing the Oberaletsch gorge, the path climbs and goes up over the glacier moraine.
From there, the comfortable path then leads high above the Oberaletsch glacier valley inward towards the hut. It crosses several steep gullies, partly secured with ropes. During this, the impressive scenery opens up with views of the Oberaletsch Hut (2640 m above sea level). The path is a mountain hiking trail T3.
The return journey takes the same route.
