Gaulihütte is a relatively "young" mountain hut, built in 1978 in the east of the Bernese Alps an excellent location for skiing tours. Less ideal with access to the hut. The bases of skittles on Hubelhorn, Ankenbäli, Wetterhorn, Rosenhorn, Ewigschneehorn, Ränfenhorn, Hangendgletscherhorn. The last chalet on the Swiss Glacier Haute Route - an impressive crossing over the summit of Rosenhorn or Wetterhorn, with an elevation of nearly 2500 m to the Rosenlau Gorge, where writer Sir Doyle ended Sherlock Holmes life. The entrance to the hut from Innertkirchen via Urbachtal is not recommended, a safer option is from the Räterichsboden dam. An interesting fact is the fall of the American aircraft in 1947 just a few kilometers from the hut.

At first, an inconspicuous brick, from which a distinctive ridge and a perfect viewing tower of the Bernese Alps 4000, dominated by the Finsteraarhorn. From Gaulihütte, at first, a sharp, rugged hillside to the american Dakota air accident memorial. Then down the glacier and the lengthy ascent below the Rosenhorn Ridge. The difficulty of the ridge depends on the snow conditions. The Rosenlaui Valley is one of the longest in the Alps. Initially, following a mild glacier, from a 3000 m high, there is a steep slope, later very ragged. Beware of orientation and avalanche danger. Around the Rosenlaui Gorge at the parking lot and the bus stop.
