To the Albigna hut

For most inhabitants of Bergell and Valchiavenna, the name Albigna recalls the large dam wall and the reservoir that has significantly changed the appearance of this side valley. But the mountain frame around the basin, characterized by walls of light granite and ice flows over glaciers, has naturally remained unchanged. Originally, the refuge stood in the place now occupied by the big wall. In 1956 it was rebuilt in a beautiful location on a ridge above the lake. You can get from the dam to the hut on a walk of a just over half an hour.

If you want to start on foot in the valley, turn right into the forest just above the cable car station. After a short time, you will reach a forest road, which you follow to the bridge over the Albigna. From here, the route leads along a footpath over the Motta Ciürela and from there along the ridge above the Albigna up to the dam wall.
