About

Cufercalhütte sits at 2,385m in the Prättigau valley of Graubünden, serving as a base for hiking the surrounding limestone ridges and peaks. Reach it from Partnun in around 3 hours on well-marked trails through alpine meadow and light forest. The hut works as a waypoint on multi-day tours connecting the Appenzell Alps to the Säntis massif.

The SAC-run hut has 22 beds across multiple rooms. Meals are prepared daily and drinking water is available. The season runs from spring through autumn, with reduced staffing in shoulder months. Basic dormitory accommodation means you'll share bunks with other hikers—standard for SAC huts. Bring your own sleep liner or rent one on arrival.

Book by phone or email directly with the hut. July and August fill 4–6 weeks ahead, particularly on weekends. June and September offer more flexibility. Contact details are on the SAC hut database. Half-board (bed and meals) is the normal arrangement. Arrive by mid-afternoon to eat with the main group. The hut sits close to water sources, so resupply is straightforward for continuing multi-day routes.
