Description
Along the path to the Kin Hut, walkers are treated to the sight of some beautiful edelweiss growing at eye level. However, the path demands a good level of concentration. The Kin hut was once popular as the starting point for a variety of high-altitude mountain tours, but because of changes in the landscape over recent decades, the hut is now much quieter – and a popular haunt for nature lovers seeking tranquillity.
- Starting point for ascents of Täschhorn, Grabenhorn, Kinhorn, Dom
- Glorious view of the Matter valley
- Täschalp: cheese and Ziger soft cheese for sale
