Mountain huts are intended to provide food and shelter to mountaineers, climbers and hikers.
But Solvay Hut can be used only in case of emergency.
The hut was built in August 1915.
All the building material was brought up to the Hornli Hut at 3260 meter by help of animals.
The hut was erected within only five days.
In 1966 the hut was rebuilt and in 1976 an emergency telephone was installed.
