The Mönchsjochhütte has no shortage of attractions: The highest staffed hut in Switzerland is reachable from Jungfraujoch on a marked footpath in 50 minutes.

The Mönchsjochhütte is located in the heart of the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Jungfrau-Aletsch. The 4000-meter peaks such as Jungfrau, Mönch, and the Fiescherhörner are within reach, and the panoramic view into Central and Eastern Switzerland as well as the Valais Alps is almost endless! At the foot of the Mönch, the longest ice stream in Europe, the Aletsch Glacier, also begins to flow southward.
