Camona da Punteglias

Camona da Punteglias is a mountain hut (Berghütte) operated by the Winterthur section of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. It sits at 2,311 metres above sea level in the Bündner Alps, in the Vorderrhein valley southwest of the Cavistrau Grond, above the village of Trun in the Surselva region. The hut offers 35 sleeping places and is staffed from the beginning of July to the end of September. It is a classic alpine refuge serving hikers, climbers and mountaineers exploring the surrounding peaks, including the Tödi, Piz Urlaun and Bifertenstock. The hut is reached on foot via established trails: from Trun through the Val Punteglias in about four hours, or from Schlans via Alp da Schlans Sut and Uaul da Punteglias in about four and a half hours. It is part of a network of SAC huts in the region, with neighbouring huts including the Bifertenhütte, Kistenpasshütte, Muttseehütte, Grünhornhütte (emergency shelter, not accessible in winter), Fridolinshütte and Planurahütte. The Camona da Punteglias also serves as a base for the blue-white alpine hiking trail into Val Russein, with GPS data available via SchweizMobil. The hut is a commercial hospitality offering within the SAC system, providing accommodation, meals and mountain information to guests. Its official website publishes seasonal opening and closing notices, reservation information and news about the surrounding area. The site notes that reservations up to 31 October 2026 are accepted online. The hut also celebrated the 200th anniversary of the first ascent of the Tödi from the Graubünden side on 1 September 1824, an event closely tied to the hut's mountaineering context. As a SAC hut, Camona da Punteglias is owned and maintained by the Swiss Alpine Club, a national mountaineering organisation, and specifically by its Winterthur section. It is not a publicly listed company but a membership-based alpine facility operated as part of Switzerland's mountain hut infrastructure.
