The Cube Aletsch - Prefab Hut High Up In The Swiss Mountains Overlooking The Largest Alpine Glacier

Location:

Fiesch Switzerland West Europe
MountainNature

The Cube Aletsch offers a one-off experience in so many ways. Located in a remote place 2,869 m (9,413 ft) above sea level in Switzerland, this double occupancy hideaway sits next to the largest glacier in the Alps.

The Aletsch Glacier is currently 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) long, but it is rapidly losing ice mass.

Since 1870, it has already retread by 3 kilometers (1.9 miles), and the melting pace has increased alarmingly. As a result, the gravest predictions foresee this vast glacier disappearing almost entirely by 2100.

Therefore, you should consider booking Cube Aletsch's unique mini-mountain hut as soon as possible, mainly because it's so popular that it sells out within days for the whole year.

The cozy prefabricated mountain hut for two offers unlikely luxury at such an altitude. It has a bathroom with a shower, a sitting area with a table and chairs, and a pull-out sofa bed.

The kitchen has all the essential amenities: a fridge, a kettle, and a coffee maker. So you can enjoy the morning sun rays on the terrace with a hot cup of coffee.
