Skihaus Hochwang
2.0About
Skihaus Hochwang sits at 1958m in the Prättigau valley south of Landquart, Graubünden. Reach it from Bad Ragaz via the Tamina Gorge trail (90 minutes to the gorge exit, then 1.5 hours further to the hut). Alternatively, approach from Valens in 2 hours. The hut marks the junction of several valley and ridge walks in the northern Appenzell Alps—terrain suited to hikers seeking moderate day routes rather than alpine climbs.
The hut operates year-round and offers beds for around 30 people in mixed dormitories. Meals are available, with dinner and breakfast provided for overnight guests; day visitors can order light refreshments. Water comes from a spring. The building is unheated and basic—expect no frills, but solid mountain hospitality typical of a working hiking hut rather than a luxury refuge.
Book directly by phone or via the hut's website. Summer weekends and school holidays fill quickly. Plan ahead for July and August. The hut works well as a base for a single night or as a waypoint on longer valley circuits. Staff can advise on linking routes to neighbouring huts in the region.
