Chamonas D'Ela CAS
1.5About
Chamona d'Ela sits at 2,252m in the Albula Alps above the Val d'Err in Graubünden. Reach it from Bergün in 2.5 hours via the Prätschli pass, or from the Prätschli col itself in 1.5 hours. The hut occupies a working alpine meadow with views across the Albula valley. The approach is steep but straightforward, gaining 800m from Bergün on a well-marked path.
The SAC-Sektion Davos hut sleeps 26 in small dormitories. The kitchen serves supper and breakfast; bring your own lunch or eat beforehand. Drinking water comes from the roof collection system. There's no self-catering kitchen or WiFi—this is a genuine working hut, not a hotel. The hut opens mid-June through September, though dates vary with snow cover and weather. Winter access requires mountaineering skills and special arrangement.
Book direct by email or phone with SAC-Sektion Davos. July and August fill 2-3 months ahead. The hut sits on a popular north-south transalpine hiking route, so weekends are busy year-round during the season. Contact them early if you need a specific date. Solo hikers can usually find a bed closer to the date itself.
