Die Puntegliashütte am Fusse des Tödimassivs

The ascent is possible from Trun directly as well as from Alp da Schlans. Both variants merge into a path that then leads up the Val Punteglias in a northwesterly direction with a moderate incline.

As early as the late Middle Ages, iron, copper and lead were mined in the valley, and high up in the Val Punteglias there are still remains of the former mine: mine entrances, foundation walls of a miner's hut and some prospecting holes.

Towards the end of the flatter section, the zigzag path leads up to the right over a stony landscape. From there, at the upper end of the steep slope, you can already see a round, red-and-white trail marker on a rock. It is important to aim for this marking if there is still snow on the hiking trail. After that, the hiking trail to the hut is very visible. In the summer months, the hut is serviced and offers 35 beds, a cosy dining room and a sun terrace with great views.

If you're lucky, you'll find a piece of Punteglias granite. A very old rock that looks a bit like Graubünden fruit bread, with its centimeter-long alkali feldspars as pieces of fruit and a base mass of biotite, hornblende, quartz and other ingredients. The famous geologist and naturalist Albert Heim (1849–1937) called it "the most beautiful rock in the Swiss Alps". In Switzerland, it can only be found in Val Frisal and Val Punteglias.

Since mid-July 2018, the hut has also been accessible to adventure seekers via a via ferrata.

To find the entrance to the via ferrata, the path to it is marked with yellow triangles. From the entrance to the hut you should allow about 1h 30min.
