In 1899 a first little hut was built in Val d`Anniviers by the initiative of Chrétien Theytaz. It was thought as shelter fort the first tourists and mountaineers arriving here.
In the past, the hut has survived two fires and it was undertaken several expansions. Later renovation works led to the standard today, which is well appreciated by the guests.
In the last century several caretakers have worked here. But all with the same intention: to let the visitors experience the beautiful mountain scene. In the heart of the „ Kaiserkrone“, enthroned on a moraine, as witness of the ever changing nature, the lodge serves furthermore its original aim: The caretaking and lodging of guests.
