Situated in the Bernina mountain range of the Alps, which extend from Switzerland into Italy, this building is part of a series of huts run by the Swiss Alpine Club for trekking the Bernina massif. Called chamannas in the local language, the huts provide spots for rest for the experienced mountain walkers that undertake the challenging trek.
