Hiking and Tours

The Niderhorn Hut of the SAC Bern is located in the Simmental, southeast above Boltigen at an altitude of 1390 m. Due to its convenient location and easy accessibility, the hut is ideal as a starting point for hikes or as a stopover for long-distance hiking.
A vast network of hiking trails invites you to explore the nearby and distant surroundings. Nearby destinations include the Niderhorn, Obergestelen, or the Seebergseeli.
Longer tours include, for example, Buufal, Schwalmflue, and the Chummigalm.
There are also ambitious long-distance destinations such as the Seeberghorn or hikes to Zweisimmen, Weissenburg, and Lenk.
Diverse mountain bike tours are signposted throughout the area. For example: Niderhorn-Luegle-Seebergsee-Stierenberg-Hind. Chumi-Uf de Flüene-Blankenburg (great descent!)

My Offer
You rent the hut as a self-caterer. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed for cooking. A basic supply of spices is also available. Groceries must be brought along. There are drinks available for self-service in the basement.
The Niderhorn Hut offers space for 18 people, distributed across three sleeping rooms with 6 sleeping places each. There are warm duvets on all
beds, thus a (hut) sleeping bag is mandatory for hygiene reasons. There are enough additional wool blankets available.
The living room and kitchen can be heated.
