🧭 The hut at a glance
The Konkordiahütte is perched at 2,850 m above the Konkordiaplatz, in the middle of the Jungfrau-Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site – where the firn fields of the Jungfrau, Aletsch and Grünhorn merge into the Great Aletsch Glacier. With 155 beds it is the largest hut of the Swiss Alpine Club and belongs to the SAC Grindelwald section. A first, small hut stood here as early as 1877; because the glacier has retreated, today’s hut now sits some 200 m above the ice surface and is reached by a metal staircase of 526 steps.
