About
Alp Natons sits at 1963m in the Prättigau valley, Graubünden. Reach it from Schlappin village in around 90 minutes on foot. The trail climbs steadily through mixed forest and alpine pasture, gaining 600m elevation. In winter, access is more difficult and depends on snow conditions. The hut sits on the main hiking route between Schruns (Austria) and the Prättigau, making it a logical stop on longer mountain traverses.
The hut is a modest working alpine dairy farm that also accommodates hikers. Capacity is around 30 beds in simple rooms. The kitchen serves hearty set meals—typically soup, main course, and coffee—using local produce and dairy from the farm. Self-catering is not available. Water comes from the spring. Basic facilities include toilets and washbasins. The hut operates summer only, typically June to September, depending on snow melt and weather.
Book direct by phone or in person during the season. Expect to find someone present most days, though calling ahead is essential. July and August are busy; aim to arrive by early afternoon or reserve a bed the night before. The hut is not SAC-affiliated and offers no winter facilities or emergency shelter.
