Berghaus Diavolezza

Berghaus Diavolezza sits at 2,978m on the Diavolezza plateau above Pontresina in the Engadin Valley. Reach it by cable car from Pontresina (10 minutes) or by hiking from the Morteratsch Glacier car park (2.5 hours). The cable car runs year-round, making this one of the most accessible high-altitude huts in the region. From the hut, trails lead to neighbouring peaks and glaciers: Piz Palü (3,882m) is a serious mountaineering route taking 5–6 hours, while easier day walks reach nearby summits and viewpoints over the Bernina massif.
The hut operates year-round and offers 170 beds across multiple dormitories. Hot meals are served daily; the kitchen also provides packed lunches for mountaineering parties. Drinking water is available on-site. The cable car access means it fills quickly with day-hikers, particularly on weekends and during July–August. Winter mountaineering parties use it as a base for ski touring in the Bernina region. The atmosphere is functional rather than remote—expect a busy hut in summer.
Book accommodation by email or phone as soon as your dates are set, especially for weekends and July–August when beds fill 4–6 weeks ahead. Phone reservations are faster for peak season. The hut sits on the main Engadin tourism circuit, so advance notice gives you better chances of securing beds.
