Capanna CognoraPhoto: Società escursionistica verzaschese (SEV)
After the refurbishment completed in 2016, the Cognora hut consists of 2 modern stone buildings with interconnected rafter roofs.
It is equipped with solar panels for lighting energy and has a kitchen with running water, wood and gas. The dormitory is equipped with mattresses and woollen blankets and offers 25 places. In front of the hut there is a large table where one can have lunch, depending on the weather conditions, and enjoy a fantastic view. Full moon nights are particularly attractive and romantic on Cògnora.
