Maighels hut

The Maighels Hut (Camona da Maighels) is located at 2310 m in the Val Maighels in the Gotthard Group, above the Oberalp Pass near Sedrun in the municipality of Tujetsch in the canton of Graubünden. It belongs to the Piz Terri section of the Swiss Alpine Club and is manned in summer from around mid-June to mid-October and in winter from the end of December to the end of April. During this time, it is a central starting point for hikes, alpine tours, ski tours and snowshoe tours around Piz Cavradi, Piz Borel, Badus and to the source of the Rhine at Lake Toma. The hut offers half-board with a rich breakfast and dinner; the kitchen works with regional ingredients and supplements the offer with a daily menu for hot and cold dishes; gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan menus can also be prepared by prior arrangement. The easiest approach leads from the Oberalp Pass on a marked mountain trail in around 1½ to 2 hours to the hut, from Tschamut the ascent takes around 2½ to 3 hours; other crossings connect it with Andermatt, the Cadlimo hut and the Vermigel hut. In summer, the hut is mainly used as a stage stop on multi-day routes such as the Four Springs Trail and as a base for hiking and biking tours, while in winter it is open to ski touring and snowshoe groups; however, guests should check current conditions, any closures and the weather forecast carefully before each tour. The hut was built in 1943 as a military barrack for the Swiss army and was later taken over by the SAC Piz Terri section and extended in 1969 and 1972. Today it is a modernized, yet simple mountain hut with a classic hut character.
