Camona da Punteglia's «The Sociable»

At 2311m above sea level, the Camona da Punteglias watches over Tün on a rocky outcrop. To the north, there is an impressive backdrop of imposing mountain peaks of the Glarus Alps. To the south, the view opens up into the Anterior Rhine Valley and the far-reaching mountain panorama.

The hut is the starting point for popular alpine tours, such as to Piz Russein (Tödi), Piz Urlaun, Piz Frisal, Piz Posta Biala or Graubünden Tödi. But the Puntegliashütte is also ideally suited as a 1- or 2-day hike and long-distance hikes over the Val Gliems. The extensive glacier foreland behind the hut offers an impressive biodiversity of rocks and plants, which is very exciting for young and old to explore. The Puntegliashütte offers space for 35 guests and invites you to linger with its cozy charm, the convivial get-together and the homemade culinary delights from the wood-burning oven and stove.
