Berghaus Diavolezza

Lombardy, Italy
About
Diavolezza sits at 2,978m on the border between Lombardy and the Valtelline, directly above the Bernina Pass. Reach it from the Diavolezza cable car station (2,973m) in 20 minutes on foot, or hike up from Lago Bianco in 1.5 hours. Most parties approach via the cable car when conditions are poor or time is short.
The hut holds 170 beds across multiple dormitories and a few private rooms. Half board (bed, dinner, breakfast) is standard. The kitchen serves substantial mountain portions—expect polenta, pasta, and meat dishes. You can buy packed lunches. Water comes from the mountain source. No shower, but there are wash basins. The hut runs year-round, though staffing drops in the shoulder seasons (April–May and September–October).
Book directly by phone (+39 342 351 5063) or email ([email protected]). For July and August, reserve 8–12 weeks ahead. June and September fill quickly on weekends. The hut fills fast during the hiking season because it sits on the main north–south traverse and serves parties tackling the Piz Palü massif. Confirm bed availability before making the journey—walk-ups rarely find space in peak season.
