The Carschina hut is an experience for young and old
A two-day trip to the Carschina hut is also ideal for families with younger children. As in many SAC huts, CSS clients receive a cheaper rate here too.

Directions
To get there, make your way to St. Antönien church either by car or with the post bus from Küblis station. From there the hike up to the Carschina hut takes 2.5 to 3 hours. In summer the ‘Bus alpin’ transports hikers to Bärgli. It then only takes around a half an hour to hike to the SAC hut.
Hiking tip: Lake Partnun and Lake Carschina
From the Carschina hut, there's a recommended hike to Lake Partnun, where – just like at Lake Carschina – rowing boats and barbecue spots are available. With older children, you can also venture onto the Sulzfluh via ferrata and benefit from the proximity of the Carschina hut by enjoying an early start and fewer crowds.
