This House is located on a slope of one of the most famous mountains in the Alps – Matterhorn. Its windows offer a spectacular view, which is kind of reward for anyone who manages to reach it.
Astonishingly, This House, dating back to 1915, was built within just 5 days. The truth being said it looked much more modest and less cozy.
The slightly mad idea to build the hut came from Ernest Solvay, A Belgian chemist and an entrepreneur, who ran a number of his businesses, which is why so many places there are named after him
It is still not quite clear why Solvay decided to buy the hut in such an extraordinary place as Matterhorn, one of the symbols of Switzerland
The view the hut offers is said to be breathtaking and the mountain itself is very difficult to climb
Hut is situated on the altitude of 4003 meters above the sea level, almost 400 meters away from the top
Sometimes the clouds flow beneath the hut, which must make the view even more spectacular
At the moment the hut is home to a mountain shelter that can accommodate up to 10 people. It offers beds, blankets and a radiophone
If you happened to be nearby, would you like to spend a night there?
