About
Grinner Schihütte sits at 1,651m on the slopes above the village of Grins in the Prättigau valley. Reach it via the hamlet of Grün—allow 1.5 hours on foot from Grins, or take the postbus to Grün and walk up from there in about 45 minutes. The approach is steady through forest and pasture, gaining roughly 250m elevation. In winter, the hut sits on skiable terrain; in summer, it serves as a base for hiking the Prättigau ridges and exploring the local network of marked trails.
The hut is a working ski lodge with basic facilities: a dining room, simple sleeping accommodation, and basic washing areas. Capacity is around 50 guests. The kitchen serves warm meals and drinks during opening hours. Staff can provide meals with advance notice and handle packed lunches for hikers. The hut operates year-round but is busier in winter. Summer traffic depends on local events and weather.
Book directly by phone or email well ahead for weekends and holidays. Winter weekends—especially January and February—fill months in advance. Summer is less crowded; 2–3 weeks' notice usually suffices. The hut prefers groups to give notice beforehand for catering. Ask about current opening hours when you call, as these shift seasonally.
