Alp de Broieta
2.4About
Alp de Broieta sits at 1,935m in the Prättigau valley of Graubünden, accessible from the village of Schiers. The approach takes 2.5 hours on a well-marked trail that climbs steadily through forest and pasture. The hut works as a base for day hikes across the surrounding ridges and serves climbers heading to peaks in the Bad Ragaz Alps. From Alp de Broieta, you can reach Säntis, Schäfler, or loop toward the Appenzell Alps within half a day.
The hut offers around 40 beds split between shared rooms and a few private double rooms. Hot meals are served daily during the season—expect traditional mountain fare and vegetarian options. Showers and toilets are standard. The hut is open year-round but staffing is light in winter, so confirm availability before visiting. Kitchen access is available if you bring your own food.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email for July and August; these months fill 6–8 weeks ahead. Outside peak season, you can usually arrive without advance notice, though calling ahead remains sensible, especially if you want dinner prepared. The hut sits just off the main hiking route, so it won't have the overnight queue pressure of more famous SAC huts, but Fridays and weekends draw walkers from the lowlands.
