Chamanna Cluozza hut trail
The hike to Chamanna Cluozza is one of the classics among the routes in the National Park. Highlights on the way include the deep view into the Cluozza Gorge, chamois, deer, the panorama, and at the destination the Chamanna Cluozza itself. Originally built as a home for the first park warden, the hut today offers space for 63 people. Far from any human influence, staying overnight in the magnificent accommodation, which is comparable in standard to a SAC hut, is very inviting. Early reservation is definitely recommended (online at www.cluozza.ch)! A hike to Chamanna Cluozza can be combined with a climb of Piz Quattervals, a route over Murtersattel to the Ofen Pass road at the PostAuto stop Vallun Chafuol/P3, or via Fuorcla Val Sassa into Val Trupchun (see corresponding routes).
Note: Dogs are not allowed in the Swiss National Park, not even on a leash. More information and all protection regulations can be found at nationalpark.ch/schutzbestimmungen.
