Lischana hut

Rooms

In the manned season, the Lischana Hut offers 49 sleeping places, divided into simple multi-bed dormitories as well as a double room, two four-bed rooms and a small hut for two people. The places are occupied as generously as possible, a hut sleeping bag is obligatory, but can be rented if required. Overnight stays are usually on a half-board basis: in the evening there is a multi-course meal, breakfast in the morning, plus a liter of tea for the next day; at weekends, guests without half-board are only accepted to a limited extent. Packed lunches can be ordered the evening before. Water is scarce, so there are no showers; washing is done at the well and guests do not use shampoo. The hut has electric light from solar power, cell phones and GPS devices can be charged via USB ports, mobile phone reception is available around the hut, but Wi-Fi is not. Payment is made in cash in Swiss francs or euros or with Twint, cards are not accepted. In winter, there is a simple winter room with a wood stove, crockery and a dormitory with ten beds, which can be used after prior online reservation and paid for on site in cash, by Twint or bank transfer.

Food and drink

Homemade specialties are served in the parlour: hearty barley soup, rösti with bacon and fried egg, snack platters, Engadine nut tarts, Linzer tarts and a variety of cakes. Particularly popular are the freshly prepared Kaiserschmarrn, homemade syrup and the Lischana hut coffee with a secret schnapps blend, accompanied by beer and a small selection of wines.

Directions

Mountaineers most often start at the parking lot or the San Jon post bus stop above Scuol. From there, a varied, marked mountain trail leads in numerous hairpin bends through forest and alpine terrain in around 2.5 to 3 hours to the rocky head of the Lischana hut, with around 1100 meters of altitude difference to overcome. More challenging variants lead from Scuol or S-charl via the Fuorcla da Rims and the high plateau of the Lais da Rims to the hut.

Parking

For the Lischana hut, most guests use the free public parking lot at San Jon above Scuol, right at the start of the hut trail. There are also several parking options in the village of Scuol and a designated Lischana hut parking lot at the end of the village in the direction of S-charl, from where you can also start the ascent.
