Camona Da Punteglias CAS
2.9About
Camona Da Punteglias sits at 2311m in the Glarus Alps, accessed from the Tödi valley. The approach takes 3–4 hours from Linthal via the Panixer Alp trail, climbing steadily through open pasture and scree. The hut is the main staging point for ascents of Tödi (3614m) and crossings into the Tösstal, making it a crucial hub for ridge walkers and peak baggers working this part of eastern Switzerland.
The SAC hut has 30 beds in simple dormitory accommodation. Meals are served daily during the season—expect hearty mountain food and hot drinks. Drinking water is available on-site. The hut operates year-round but staffing varies; check opening dates before planning a winter visit. Toilet facilities are basic but functional. There's no shower or electricity for charging devices.
Book directly by phone (+41 55 643 10 13) or email. July and August fill 2–3 months ahead, particularly if you're planning a Tödi ascent. June and September offer better availability. Half-board (bed and dinner) is standard. The hut closes for maintenance in late autumn most years, so confirm dates before committing to a trip. Arrive early on high-traffic days; the warden manages allocations fairly but can't guarantee space on peak weekends.
