About
Rifugio Mario del Grande-Remo Camerini sits at 2,580m in the Albula Alps, accessible from the Val Forno valley. The approach takes roughly 3 hours from Preda (1,800m) via the Alp Flix plateau. This is a straightforward hiking route, steep in sections but well-marked. Winter access is unreliable; plan visits between June and September.
The refuge accommodates 40 people in dorm rooms and a few private spaces. Half-board and full-board options are available, with simple alpine cooking. There's no WiFi or mobile signal here. The hut runs basic facilities: heating, water, and outdoor toilet. It opens late June through mid-September, weather-dependent. Check conditions before heading up in shoulder season.
Book through CAI Sovico directly or contact them for current rates and availability. July and August fill quickly—book at least 4 weeks ahead for these months. The hut attracts hikers crossing to the Säntis range or linking to other SAC huts in the region. Bring cash; card payment is unreliable. This is a working hut without amenities, suited to hikers wanting solitude and straightforward mountain accommodation.
