About
Alp di Agnon sits at 1905m in the Val Ferrera, a remote valley in southern Graubünden. Reach it from Nufenen village (1,270m) via a 3-hour hike following the valley floor, then climbing through larch forest to the alp. The path is well-marked but steep in places. Winter access is unreliable; plan visits between June and October.
This is a working alpine dairy, not a commercial hut. The keeper offers 4 beds in simple accommodation and provides meals based on what's available—typically local cheese, bread, and seasonal produce. Facilities are basic: no shower, pit toilet, and water from the spring. The alp operates as a working farm during summer months, so the atmosphere is authentic but not hotel-like. Expect early mornings and the rhythms of alpine agriculture.
Contact the keeper directly through the Graubünden tourist office or Val Ferrera guides. Accommodation is informal—arrive in person or send a message well ahead. Numbers are small (4 beds), so availability is tight. This hut suits hikers who value remoteness and genuine alpine life over comfort. Come prepared for basic conditions and self-sufficiency.
