No luck with the Speikbodenhütte. After a difficult ascent, the hut was closed. As a result, we couldn't go down to the valley on a sled. On the way we met people from the local people who announced that the hut would start up again on Friday because the snow cat was defective. Well, a nice hike nonetheless
