The hut is complete! Find booking details here, and plan your trip!

 

After an incredible community effort, the Braun Hut organization is thrilled to share that the new Green Wilson Hut is officially complete, and ready to welcome hut visitors this winter. 

The fully rebuilt, redesigned hut turned out beautifully, fulfilling all aspects of the project’s expansive vision. The new hut masterfully showcases its incredible setting — in the same beloved location as the original — with its south-facing windows and bright common space for gathering. 

The new design honors the character and scale of the original Green Wilson Hut, maintaining its intimate 8-person capacity across three cozy sleeping rooms, while providing improved functionality and efficiency, with upgrades like a dedicated entry room for gear storage and a highly efficient passive solar design. 

With structural improvements designed to withstand heavy snowloads and other high alpine elements, along with the use of fire resilient materials, the hut is built to ensure a sustainable refuge for the next generation of hut users. 

Keeping an eye to the future while respecting the hut’s rich history has been a cornerstone of the rebuild process. In that same spirit, stay tuned for a forthcoming announcement that will officially usher this new hut into its next chapter, and add even more context to its story..!

A Community Effort

“We really want to emphasize what a wonderful community effort this project has been,” says Morgan Boyles, Executive Director of the Alfred A. Braun Hut System. “It took a village of donors, volunteers, and craftsmen/women to make it all happen on time and in great style.”

The Braun Huts organization launched a major community-supported campaign this spring to help raise funds to rebuild the Green Wilson Hut and sustain it for future generations. The team extends immense gratitude to all the members of the hut community who have donated and supported these efforts.

At this stage, the project is still short approximately $40,000. If you’d like to contribute to closing the gap and help preserve this cherished community resource for many decades to come, donations can be made at https://braunhuts.org/future.
