About
Bivacco Alpe Colina sits at 2,070m in the Prättigau valley of Graubünden, on the border between Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Approach from Schaan (Liechtenstein) via the Alp Sareiserjöchli or from the Swiss side via Schruns valley. The hut is a 2.5 to 3-hour walk from valley trailheads. This is a working alpine dairy pasture, not a tourist facility—the bivouac shelter operates seasonally and exists primarily for mountaineers and serious hikers needing refuge in the region.
The bivacco offers basic overnight shelter and minimal facilities. It has sleeping space for around 8 people in simple dormitory arrangements. There is no staffing, no meals, and no guarantee of supplies—bring everything you need. Water is usually available from the pasture stream. The shelter opens roughly June to September, depending on snow melt and weather. Check locally before heading out in shoulder seasons. This is suitable only for self-sufficient groups comfortable with basic mountain conditions.
Bivaccos operate on an honor system; there is no formal booking. Leave payment in the donation box inside. Arrive with your own food, stove fuel, and sleeping bag. Summer weekends attract local hikers from both Switzerland and Liechtenstein, but this remains quiet compared to major huts. The Prättigau valley can be wet and cloudy—plan accordingly and carry proper rain gear.
