Above the clouds - A journey to the highest hut in Europe, Unguided

- When someone got airlifted out of the hut at 2AM, we knew this place is no joke.
For years I wanted to visit Capanna Margherita, famous for being the highest mountain hut in the Alps, perched atop a 4,554-meter mountain, Signalkuppe - part of the Monte Rosa group of mountains.
If you include our acclimatization climb, this journey took us 3 days to reach.
We decided to take an ambitious route to Capanna Margherita, traversing 3 peaks over 4,000 high. Corno Nero, Ludwigshoeh and Parrotspitze.
Staying at this hut isn't for the faint-hearted (literally).
Even with all the days we had adjusting to the altitude, we still didn't acclimatize properly and struggled badly the night we were there.
Even with all its ups and downs, I still count this as one of the most incredible locations I ever visited in the Alps to date

I heard there are pills for attitude sickness
A proper and gradual acclimatization is the main ingredient to avoid AMS that in many cases can be very dangerous!
I agree about the importance of height acclimatization. Many years ago, I spent two weeks ascending multiple peaks and sleeping low for two weeks in the Saas-Fee area. After that, we went to Chamonix and Mt Blanc - we felt pretty good during the climb there, but many folks came and struggled enormously to reach the peak at 4809 meters. It's much more enjoyable when you are fit. Cheers.
if you call that a hotel you a have completely messed up perception of the mountains
Surprised you guys didn't summit Zumsteinspitze which is a 4K neighbour peak of Signalkuppe on your way down the next morning as that is very common.
great video, we followed u guys i think a few days later (13.7) and were the only group to reach margherita hut that day (storms). it was nice having the hut so quiet (basically empty) as the altitude up there is tough. great filming of Parrotspitze 😊 also to see the view! we had clouds and lots of lightning the whole nt.
very amusing....
Very nice pictures. I did a similar tour from Rifugio Mantova to Zumsteinspitze, the neighbour summit to Capanna Margherita.
Awesome Video!
I always wanted to go to Capanna Margherita. Thanks for posting this! To any solo mountaineer out there like myself, can I join your team in the summer of 2024? :P
