Synopsis
The Trifthütte is a mountain hut located near the Trift Glacier in Switzerland. It sits at 2520m below the Hinter Tierberg mountain, and is a popular destination for hikers and mountaineers. In 2021 it was badly damaged by an avalanche.The Trift Glacier is a valley glacier formed from several firn pools on the northern flank of the Winterberg massif. The retreat of glaciers since 1850 is well documented and is one of the effects of climate change, with the Trift Glacier itself losing 350m of its total length between 2003 and 2005 alone.
