Capanna Cava

Nestled in a breathtaking landscape, overlooking the majestic wall of the Torroni peaks, the Capanna Cava is the ideal starting point for unforgettable hikes at high altitude.

The hut can accommodate up to 34 people and is divided into two dormitories, one with 18 beds and one with 16 beds with bunk beds. A fully equipped kitchen with wood and gas cookers, solar panel lighting and sanitary facilities complete the essential but authentic comfort of refuge life.

During the winter, when nature becomes wilder and quieter, only the winter hut with 5 beds is accessible: a true oasis for those seeking the peace of the snow-covered mountains. Even in the absence of the warden, it is possible to cook in the winter hut thanks to the gas cookers.

The hut can be reached in just 20 minutes on foot from Alpe di Cava, or via beautiful hiking trails:

• from Biasca with two trails lasting 5h30 or 6h
• along the Via Alta Crio
• from Biborgo or from the wild Calanca Valley

The hut warden is present from mid-June to the end of September, during which time you can experience the full atmosphere of the hut, sharing stories and experiences with other hikers.
