Someo-Alzasca Hut-Cevio

Ascona-Locarno Tourism Verified partner
After passing various alpine huts selling fresh cheese, typical rustic houses of the Vallemaggia (natural stone houses), and panoramic spots inviting a break, the trail leads into the unspoiled Soladino Valley, where the vegetation changes with each meter climbed. Thanks to this variety, the long route feels easier.
After the forest, a wide green alpine pasture opens up and the Alzasca Hut can be seen, standing against the backdrop of a majestic mountain frame. The small and cozy refuge is equipped with all comforts. Staffed from late May to mid-October, in the remaining months it is accessible for autonomous stays. The silence and the endless view reward the previous strenuous ascent.
