About
Schlafen im Stroh sits at 1444m in the Lombardy Alps, accessible by hiking from the lower villages of the Valchiavenna valley. The approach takes 2–3 hours depending on your starting point and fitness. The hut makes a solid base for day walks into the surrounding ridges and peaks, or as a stop on longer valley traverses.
The hut offers basic alpine accommodation in a working farm setting. Capacity is small—around 20 beds—spread across simple rooms. Meals focus on hearty traditional food; half-board and full-board options are available. The hut has no shower facilities, only washbasins. Water comes from the mountain spring. The season runs year-round, though snow closes access in heavy winter months. Check conditions before arriving in December–February.
Book by phone directly with the hut. Summer weekends fill fast, particularly July and August—contact at least 3 weeks ahead for peak season. Outside summer, a week's notice is usually enough. The hut is family-run and operates on a relaxed schedule, so confirm your arrival time when you book. Payment is by cash or bank transfer; check their preferred method when you call.
