Switzerland's Solvay Hut Sits at a Height of 13,133 Feet

Pictured here is a property known as the Solvay Hut, named after Belgian chemist Ernest Solvay. It's situated along the northeastern ridge of Matterhorn Mountain in Switzerland and sits at an astonishing 13,133 feet high. This accommodation can house up to ten hikers - but sadly, it can only be used during an emergency. If ever there was an upside to having an emergency, this would be it; just look at the stunning mountainous views!

So why did this special place get named after Solvay? The talented chemist spent much time exploring these mountains and wanted to leave something out of gratitude for the beautiful memories he'd made there.
