About
Rifugio Gremei sits at 1,555m in the Val Gremei, in the Ticino Alps south of the Gotthard. The hut is accessible from Faido on the Gotthard road: take the valley path from Faido village, which takes 2.5 hours to reach the refuge. This route is straightforward and suitable for anyone with basic fitness. The hut can also be reached via longer approaches from neighbouring valleys if you're linking multiple days together.
The refuge is a simple, working mountain hut with capacity for around 20 people. It provides basic accommodation in dormitory-style rooms. Meals are available, and the hut maintains drinking water and flush toilets. The season runs from late spring through early autumn, typically June to September, depending on snow melt and weather. It's a good base for exploring the surrounding high pastures and for access to peaks in the Ticino Alps, or as a stopping point on longer ridge traverses in the area.
Book directly by phone before you go. The hut is popular with hikers tackling routes through the southern Alps, so book at least a few weeks ahead for July and August. Outside peak summer months you can usually secure a bed with less advance notice. Check weather conditions before setting out, as the valley can experience rapid weather changes typical of the southern Alps.
