Capanna Al Legn is an Alpine refuge located at 1,802 meters above sea level on the slopes of Gridone, above Brissago, in the Canton of Ticino. Inaugurated in 1995, the modern structure is spread over three floors and offers 12 beds, a kitchen equipped with wood and gas stoves, hot and cold water, toilets and a shower. The hut is accessible all year round via paths that start from the Brissago mountains, with a travel time of about two hours. From its panoramic position, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Lake Maggiore and the Brissago Islands. The use of a sleeping bag is mandatory, available on site at a cost of CHF 7. For information and reservations, you can contact the number +41 79 823 98 07.

Magnificent panorama presented from the top of the Gridone. As early as the 1960s, some enthusiastic Brissaghesi had the idea of building a mountain hut as a place to stop and rest for the numerous mountain hikers in this area, especially on the way to the summit of Gridone.

So it happened that in 1992 the association Amici della Montagna di Brissago (AMB) was founded with the purpose of building a refuge for a simple rest or short stays (overnight stay). It was not easy to raise the necessary capital. But, as we know, the difficulties strengthen the cohesion and increase the effort. Thanks to the courtesy of the canton with the Sport-Toto, thanks to the clubs and local companies and not least the municipality of Brissago and the local patriciate, but especially thanks to the generosity of many private citizens, the modern and elegant building was achieved in less than 3 years Completed on schedule.
