2458m Above Sea Level
Even up in 2458m above sea level in the Swiss Alps, you could find Pissoirs and toilets, but you will still find there are tremendous squatty potties in some and even in some scenic areas.
If you intend to use any of these mountain-huts toilet be prepared with your own tissues. Especially in peak seasons, some toilets run out of tissues, let alone hand cleaners or dry towels. It’s always better to be prepared. A nose clip would help the unfriendly smell which is brutal mainly when the weather drops down which is mostly the case during the evenings and early mornings.
My worst experience was at Gspaltenhornhütte. It is nicely decorated, which is positive, but the Pissoir and the Toilet is situated separately, right at the cliff and unfortunately with no warm water. The toilet was generally wet so the floor often mixes with water and mud.
Even though these are the facts that you may encounter, don’t panic, just do your thing and never look behind the toilet cliff – you really don’t want to know what those flying crows are feeding on!
