Camona Da Medel CAS
3.1About
Camona da Medel sits at 2,524m on the Lukmanier Pass between the Gotthard and Rhine valleys. This SAC hut anchors the high-altitude section of the Gotthard trail network. Reach it from Medel village (1,455m) in 3 hours via a clear path through the Medel valley, or from the Lukmanier Pass road in 1.5 hours. The hut is positioned as a natural staging point for traverses across the central Swiss Alps.
The hut sleeps 51 guests across multiple rooms. Half-board is standard—the kitchen serves breakfast and dinner daily. You can also self-cater if you prefer, using the dedicated kitchen and reliable water supply. Opening dates depend on snow conditions; contact ahead for spring and autumn access. Winter closure is typical but worth confirming.
Book directly by phone or email, especially for weekends and July-August when the hut fills quickly. Advance booking of one month minimum is sensible for peak season. Single nights are possible outside busy periods. The hut is reachable year-round by day-visit from the Lukmanier road, but overnight access requires planning ahead.
