Capanna Poncione di BragaPhoto: Ascona-Locarno Tourism
Cozy mountain hut surrounded by imposing peaks. In summer, cows graze on the alpine pastures, while in winter the hut is a popular destination for ski touring and snowshoeing.
The Capanna Poncione di Braga is located at 2,003 meters in the upper Peccia Valley in Lavizzara, nestled in a stunning natural landscape. The hut is open year-round and staffed from June to October. It accommodates up to 18 guests, divided into four rooms (blankets are provided). Amenities include a kitchen, a dining room, toilets, and a shower. In winter, only a basic outdoor toilet is available, and showers are not possible. The hut can be reached in about 2.5 hours from Piano di Peccia or in 4 hours from Robiei. The Capanna Poncione di Braga is an ideal starting point for mountain tours to peaks such as Pizzo della Rossa, Pizzo Castello, Pulpito, Poncione di Braga, Taneda, Cavallo del Toro, Mottone, or Pizzo del Ghiacciaio di Sasso Nero.
