Alpine Huts and Shelters

Ticino's alpine huts provide a vital network of shelters across the Lepontine and Lugano Alps, ranging from high-altitude Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) refuges to lower-elevation hostels. These stone-built structures, such as the historic Capanna Adula and the panoramic Capanna Tamaro, serve as base camps for ascending peaks or trekking the Via Alta della Verzasca. Many offer regional Ticinese cuisine and essential lodging for hikers exploring the Val Piora lake district and the Greina plateau.
