About
Casa di Prim'Alpe sits at 725m in the Ticino foothills, above the Val Maggia near Cevio. The hut is a 45-minute walk from Cevio village, following marked trails through mixed forest and meadow. It's also accessible from the Robiei area, giving you options depending on your itinerary.
The hut runs as a simple mountain restaurant and overnight stop with 12 beds across shared rooms. Meals are available daily—book ahead if you're arriving for dinner. There's no shower or running water; toilet facilities are basic. The hut operates year-round, though winter availability can be limited. This is a working place focused on regional food and modest hospitality, not a full-service alpine lodge. The lower elevation means it's warm in summer and accessible most of the year, making it a useful base for exploring the Val Maggia trails.
Book directly by email or phone—aim for 2–3 weeks ahead in summer (June–September), especially weekends. The hut is popular with local walkers and families on Sundays, so expect busier periods then. Winter bookings are worth confirming a week ahead to check opening status.
