SAC hut at 2568 m with modern infrastructure. It offers a spectacular view of the Forno glacier and is the starting point for various tours between Bergell, Engadin and Italy.

In addition to various dormitories, the hut also has one quadruple room and four double rooms. All beds are equipped with comforters, and woollen blankets can also be used. The use of a silk sleeping bag is obligatory for all guests - a limited number can be rented. Dogs must sleep outside for reasons of hygiene.

The shower (only in summer), toilets and washbasins are located inside the hut and have been heated since 2019.

Three different parlors offer enough space for all overnight guests and day visitors. Additional seating is available on the panoramic terrace with a view of the glacier.

There is no mobile network at the hut. However, there is reception on the surrounding peaks. If you need to make an urgent call in the hut, you can use the landline telephone for a fee.

Tour options between Engadin and Bergell - the Fornohütte is both a destination and a starting point!
