The first mention of the development of Śnieżnik Mountain dates back to 1809, when the owner of Międzygórze, Count Wilhelm von Magnis, built barns and shepherd's huts on the mountain pasture below Śnieżnik. In 1838, Międzygórze was purchased by Princess Marianna of Orange, the Lady of Kamieniec Ząbkowicki – daughter of the King of the Netherlands and wife of a Prussian prince. In 1840, she invited her father, King Wilhelm, with whom she reached the summit of Śnieżnik on July 20th. In 1869, the Duchess took over the land on the mountain pasture below Śnieżnik. She commissioned a highlander from Switzerland to build a Swiss mountain hut (Schweizerei am Schneeberg or Schweizerei auf dem Schneeberg) on the mountain pasture below Śnieżnik, which now forms the main part of the mountain hut. Construction was completed in 1871. The building initially served as a tourist inn, with 50 beds and a large dining hall. In the following years, the buildings were modernized several times. In 1872, utility rooms were built on the site of an old dairy farm. In 1880, a meteorological station was opened at the inn. In the 1930s, the inn had 30 beds. After World War II, the building stood empty until 1946. The dilapidated buildings were taken over by "Orbis," renaming it "Szwajcarka." In 1947, the Polish Tatra Mountain Shelter Board took over. The following summer, a shelter was opened, named "Na Śnieżniku" to distinguish it from the "Szwajcarka" shelter in Rudawy Janowickie. In 1950, the building became the property of the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society. At that time, the shelter had 63 beds. In the 1980s, the shelter was thoroughly modernized and renovated thanks to the efforts of its then-lessee, Zbigniew Fastnacht, who managed the facility from 1982 to 2001. After his death, in recognition of his achievements, the shelter was named after him.

This view will blow you away. True, Czarna Góra (1,205 m above sea level) is right next door, and this is the best vantage point. The views of the Kłodzko Valley and Śnieżnik Mountain are spectacular. You're in luck!

Śnieżnik is a mountain on the Polish-Czech border. Its wide summit offers views of both the Polish and Czech sides. It offers plenty of space. A mountain hut with full infrastructure is about 30 minutes from the summit.

It's worth bringing good shoes, as the approach is sometimes steep and rocky. One section of the trail features a steep, rocky ascent, with a crevasse through the middle caused by a river that once flowed there.

It is better to book a place to stay in advance, the food is OK, the prices are like in other shelters in Poland, you have to take into account that there is no Wi-Fi on the premises of the shelter, and the mobile internet is so-so.
