Location and accessibility The Maiensäss is located on the picturesque Tunetschalp (Tunetschalpstrasse 71) above Mörel-Filet. The access is convenient via a well-developed forest road and can be reached from Mörel in about 20 minutes. A fee-based permit is required for the use of the road. The accessibility is seasonal: from spring to winter, the Maiensäss is easily accessible. For sports enthusiasts, the ascent with snowshoes is an option in winter – a special experience in the snowy mountain world. The Alpine hut is located on the edge of the small hamlet "Eischte", surrounded by a few other huts. The view is unobstructed and simply spectacular. An additional plus point: since summer 2025, the charming mountain guesthouse "Chäller" on the Tunetschalp has been inviting you to linger again and can be reached from the hamlet in about 15 minutes by car – ideal for enjoyable excursions in the immediate vicinity. Mörel-Filet – your sunny gateway to the Aletsch region, where alpine peace and joie de vivre are at home. Description of the Alpine hut The originally built stable in 1926 was converted into a cozy and functional Alpine hut in 1975 with great attention to detail. On approximately 50 m² of living space, you can expect a comfortable home with rustic charm. The supply follows the original, natural way of life and underlines the authentic character of this Alpine hut. Fresh spring water is available in good drinking water quality and conveys an immediate feeling of originality. Warm water is deliberately waived – a detail that makes the simple, slowed-down life in the mountains tangible. The power supply is provided by a 12V solar system with battery storage and ensures reliable, simple lighting in alpine everyday life. The wastewater disposal is regulated via a seepage pit and fits unobtrusively into the natural environment. The living floor can be reached via an external staircase. Already when entering, you feel the warm atmosphere: the entrance area with wardrobe, wooden ceilings, and sloping roofs serves as a cozy sleeping area with two beds and practical built-in wardrobes. Adjacent is a bathroom with washbasin and toilet. The cozy kitchen with dining area invites you to social hours. Cooking is done with gas, and a chimney connection for the installation of a wood stove is already available. A charming bedroom with a double bed and a spacious living room offer ample space for relaxed hours. From the living area, you can access the sunny balcony – a place that invites you to linger and dream with its unparalleled distant view. In the basement, a spacious cellar room (approx. 35 m²) is available, which can be used versatilely as a storage room, hobby room, or workshop. The plot includes 246 m² with well-kept green spaces and an idyllic garden seating area – perfect for relaxed hours in nature. In addition, a 1/3 share of an agricultural plot (17,566 m²) is sold, which is managed by a local farmer. Room concept Upper floor
