Capanna Buffalora

The Sentiero Alpino is one of the pearls of alpine trekking. The 50 km route delights hikers with its bold transitions, breathtaking views and unique huts. In 3 days you hike over almost impossible transitions, through magnificent mountain landscapes and past enchanting mountain lakes, highlight after deep view. Capanna Buffalora is also recommended as a 2-day tour.

Beautiful pastures and larch forests with rhododendrons and blueberries: this is the location of Buffalora, the only alpine hut in the Calanca area that is open during the summer months. Here passes the Sentiero Alpino Calanca, a challenging but fascinating route that connects San Bernardino to Santa Maria in Calanca. The refuge is located near the ridge that separates the Calanca from the Mesolcina and offers a splendid panorama to all visitors.
