There are no longer any overnight accommodations or catering options here. It's just a regular alpine pasture and a stop for the Alpine Bus.

You can take a break at the hut, which is well worth seeing, and fortify yourself with a snack you've brought with you. From here you have a great view of the Lai da Marmorera reservoir.

Beautiful lake landscape with picnic areas and fireplaces, but also a number of "natural rest stops". Here you should simply take a little time and enjoy this unique place.
