Hohsaas Hut
The Hohsaas hut is a private refuge on the west side of Lagginhorn and Weissmies in Valais, directly at the mountain station of the Saas-Grund–Hohsaas cable car.
The valley town is Saas-Grund. Access to the hut can be significantly shortened by taking a cable car ride from Saas-Grund to the Kreuzboden station or Hohsaas.
The Hohsaas Hut is a base for access to the Fletschhorn, the Lagginhorn and the Weissmies via the Trift Glacier as well as the Jegihorn and the Jegigrat.
It was converted from a mountain hut to a restaurant in 2006.
