Capanna al Legn, Mountain hut in Monti di Brissago, Switzerland.
Capanna al Legn is a mountain hut in the Monti di Brissago range sitting at 1,785 meters elevation with beds for 12 guests. The wooden building holds a kitchen, toilet facilities, and sleeping areas spread across three floors.
The refuge was founded in 1992 by the local Patriziato and volunteers from the Amici della Montagna association. This establishment created a mountain base for hikers and mountaineers at this location.
The hut reflects how mountaineers have traditionally stayed and gathered in this region. Its wooden interior and simple furnishings create an authentic setting where visitors connect with the mountain environment.
Plan to make a reservation in advance because spaces fill up quickly. Reaching this hut requires a hike uphill, so come prepared for walking at high elevation.
From this location you can see across to the Po Plain while viewing Lake Maggiore and the Brissago Islands below. The hut serves as a jumping-off point for reaching Gridone peak on foot.
