About
Nuova Capanna Gesero sits at 2,000m in the Ticino Alps near Località Biscia. The hut serves as a base for hiking in the southern Swiss Alps. Access routes vary depending on your starting point—most approaches take 3 to 5 hours from the valley. The terrain is steep and exposed in places, so solid mountain fitness helps.
The hut sleeps 32 people in shared rooms. Meals are available, and drinking water is provided. It operates year-round, though winter access can be difficult. The hut is basic but functional—expect no-frills mountain accommodation rather than comfort. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. This is a working hut for serious hikers, not a resort.
Book in advance, especially for weekends and July to September. Email contact is preferred for booking—phone lines may not be staffed consistently. Confirm your arrival time when you reserve. The hut fills quickly during peak season, so don't delay. Bring a headtorch and warm layers regardless of the season; weather in the southern Alps changes fast. Pay in cash if possible, though contact the hut to confirm payment methods before your trip.
