Brisenhaus

Brisenhaus is a mountain hut of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) in the northern Urner Alps of Switzerland. It stands at 1,753 metres above sea level in the canton of Nidwalden, north of the Brisen peak, on the Beckenriederalp at the north-west foot of the Risetenstock (2,290 m) and the Glattegrat. The hut is maintained and run by the Pilatus Section of the Swiss Alpine Club, one of the many local sections that together form Switzerland's largest mountaineering organisation. As a serviced alpine hut, Brisenhaus provides shelter, food and overnight accommodation for hikers, climbers and ski tourers in the region. It is reached on foot from two cable-car stations: about one and a half hours from the Klewenalp top station and about two hours from the Niederrickenbach top station. From the hut, several peaks are easily accessible, including the Brisen itself, the Glattegrat (2,216 m), the Schwalmis (2,246 m) and the Schinberg (2,145 m), the last being somewhat steep and exposed. About an hour's walk east of the hut lies the Schynberg climbing garden, on the south-west-facing walls of the Schinberg. The hut takes its name from the nearby Brisen mountain and serves as a base for hiking and climbing in the Nidwalden and Urner Alps. Its official web presence is hosted on the website of the SAC Pilatus Section.
