Hidden among the majestic peaks of the Swiss Pre-Alps, the Alpine Hut on Monte Gambarogno stands as an icon of resilience and transformation. Built in the early 1900s as a military barracks, this structure has seen the passage of time and change to become a welcoming hut open to the public.

Opening and closing season 2025

For this season, the opening and closing dates (snow and weather permitting) are

  • May 1st through Nov. 16th (we will confirm shortly...)
  • open Wednesday afternoon through Sunday
  • 10 beds by reservation via email

Who are you going to watch it with ?

The most beautiful sunset in the world.

Because one day you will go up there or come back and you can answer this question with a smile:

“Yes, I contributed to this sunset, too.”

This year, the membership fee is more than just a contribution. It is a vital gesture to not slow this down. We are running like crazy, doing everything we can. Time is running out, and now we need you.

Food

Almost all of the hut's products are purchased in the region, fresh and otherwise, and used to create our traditional Ticino cuisine. We work directly with mountain dwellers, butchers, winemakers, bakers, and various locals to create a restaurant that provides a gastronomic experience and supports the local community.

Association

Founded in 2016 thanks to the will of a group of friends, the Amis dala Capanna Gambarögn association has enabled the search for the funds needed to renovate and enhance the Gambarogno Hut.
