About
Costaccia sits at 2,328m in the Prättigau valley, a base for hiking in the eastern Appenzell Alps. Reach it from Schäfler (1,866m) in about 2 hours via a steady trail through mixed forest and alpine pasture. The hut is also accessible from Sämtis (2,228m) in roughly 1.5 hours, making it flexible for loop routes. Winter access is limited and weather-dependent.
The SAC-run hut has 50 beds across shared dorms and can feed 80 people. Hot meals are available, though it's not a full restaurant operation—book your meal when you reserve. The hut runs year-round but staffing and services are minimal in winter; check ahead if you're visiting November through March. Basic facilities include running water and heating.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email at least one week ahead during summer. July and August fill quickly for weekends. The hut suits day walkers using it as a lunch stop as much as those doing multi-day traverses. Staff can advise on conditions and route options into the surrounding ridges and valleys.
