Die Puntegliahütte ist wunderschön gelegen

The crown of the Surselva is an impressive and sometimes challenging circular hike from hut to hut in Graubünden.

Details

Description

The descent leads through the Val Cavardiras to Alp Cavrein Sura. Now leave the marked hiking trail to Alp Russein da Trun and on to the plateau of Val Gliem. Cairns and orange dots show the way. Attention: the path is not marked! After the ascent to Fuorcla da Punteglias at 2800m, the descent takes place over scree slopes and glacier foreland.

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.

Sicherheitshinweis

The Alp Russein da Trun - Camana da Punteglias section is not marked as a hiking trail. As a guideline, the following applies: If you need more than 3 hours for the section from the Cavardirashütte to Alp Russein da Trun, you should choose the descent through the Val Russein and not climb further up into the Val Gliems.

Update 2025: The above-mentioned section will be marked in the summer of 2025. But be prepared for unfinished sections. The route newly published here (spring 2025) is the planned route.

Attention: On high-altitude sections, snowfields are possible until the summer months.

In uncertain weather conditions, the tour should not be started. Weather changes in the mountains are frequent. If a rain front or similar comes up during the hike, you should turn back in time.

Ausrüstung

Good hiking boots with good tread, weather-appropriate clothing (rain jacket/sun protection), change of clothes, first aid kit, drinks, food, GPS device, possibly Hiking poles. Equipment for overnight stays in cabins.
