Mountain hut

Capanna Leìt

Notice: Swiss mountain hut at 2,257 metres in the Campolungo area of Prato Leventina, Ticino, beside the Leìt lake.

Notice: For winter 2026/27 the operator states that the unstaffed refectory remains open from 11 October 2026 to early June 2027. It has no lighting, water or toilets. This does not establish an open staffed hut or safe winter access. Source read 2026-10-29.

Path access notices

Notice: The Tremorgio cableway is closed throughout winter and has maintenance closure days outside that period. Winter access from the valley is long and unsuitable for inexperienced visitors. June snow, high stream water and snow-hidden bridges need separate checks; a winter room does not qualify the approach. Source read 2026-10-29.
