Konkordia Hut

The Konkordia Hut

The Konkordia Hut (German: Konkordiahütte) is a mountain hut of the Swiss Alpine Club, located north of Fieschertal in the canton of Valais. The hut lies above Konkordiaplatz, the point of convergence of several glaciers in the great Aletsch Glacier system of the Bernese Alps. It is located at a height of 2,850 metres above sea level, at the foot of the Fülbärg.

Access

Because of its location, the hut is long way from villages (6 hours from Fiescheralp, 10 hours from Fafleralp). The shortest way starts at the Jungfraujoch railway station (4 hours). All access routes are via glacier. The hut lies approximately 150 metres above the level of the ice.
