This is the mountain lodge on top of the Faulhorn in the Berner Oberland. It is the highest altitude I’ve ever reached on my own feet (no cable car or any other form of transport) – 2,681 metres above sea level.  All the supplies come by helicopter and there is no water.  The glacier close by has ceased to exist and water is now pumped from an artificial pond which collects rainwater and melted snow.  There is one large room with communal bunks on the floor, you either sleep downstairs or upstairs on the inside balcony.  It’s only open during the summer months.

This is my first top square for Becky’s April Square Challenge.
