The spectacular view of the Forno glacier from the hut terrace, modern infrastructure at 2574 m, various touring possibilities between Engadin and Bergell - the Forno hut is destination and starting point at the same time!
In addition to various dormitories, the hut also has one room with four beds and four double rooms. All sleeping places are equipped with comforters, and additionally woolen blankets can be used. The use of a silk sleeping bag is obligatory for all guests - a limited number can be rented. Dogs must sleep outside for hygienic reasons.

The shower (only in summer), the toilets and the lavabos are inside the hut and are heatable since 2019.

Three different parlors offer enough space for all overnight guests and day visitors. Additional seating is located on the panoramic terrace with a view of the glacier.

There is no mobile network at the hut. However, coverage is available on the surrounding peaks. If you need to make an urgent call at the hut, you can use the landline telephone for a fee.
