Wildstrubel hut, Tseuzier dam

Departing from the Violettes, the hiker ascends by gondola to the Plaine Morte glacier. This very beautiful walk, passing through the Weisshornlücke, allows you to admire the magnificent landscape of the Rawyl region as well as the expanse and space of the Plaine-Morte glacier and the Wildhorn glacier. The first day ends at the Wildstrubel hut (the highest in the western Bernese Oberland) which belongs to the Swiss Alpine Club section of Wildhorn and Kaiseregg. It is located next to the "Rohrbachhaus" on a small plateau at 2793 m altitude, west of the Weisshorn. The next day, descend through an alpine pasture before reaching the Tseuzier lake (Tseuzier dam). The return along the mythical bisse du Ro, with hikers practically hanging on the rock face, allows one to imagine the difficulties encountered by the ancients who carried out these incredible constructions with almost no technical means. This rather steep and somewhat vertiginous route, but without major dangers, is nevertheless not recommended for people prone to vertigo or without good physical condition. (DR)
