Mountain hut
Muttseehütte SAC
About this hut: Cableway/tunnel approaches, exposed walking alternatives, long Kistenpass crossings and avalanche-exposed winter approaches differ.
Notice: The season 2026/27 notice says staffed season 2026 has ended and the hut is in winter pause. It says all walking approaches are closed and Tierfed–Kalktrittli tourist cableway service has stopped. Season 2027 is expected around mid-June, without an exact date. Source read 2026-10-24.
Notice: General staffing pattern is approximately mid-June to mid-October. Current seasonal closure notice takes precedence; no exact 2027 opening or unrestricted winter access inferred. Source read 2026-10-24.
Path access notices
all winter accesses
Notice: Operator strongly advises against all winter approaches from both Glarus and Graubünden because of avalanche exposure. Winter-room availability does not clear an approach. Source read 2026-10-24.
Muttsee approaches and Tierfed–Kalktrittli cableway
Notice: Winter-pause notice reports walking-route closures and stopped tourist cableway service. Older main-body summer text saying paths are open does not override this seasonal notice; confirm current conditions and cableway operation. Source read 2026-10-24.

Notice: Published Kistenpass approach has been rerouted after permafrost-related landslides: follow markings between Latten and Kistenpasshütte/P2729 using chain-equipped rock passage and iron stair. This is a general route description, not current passage clearance. Source read 2026-10-24.
