[Regions](/regions/) › Ossola & Val Formazza [Open in the HutScanner map](/app?region=ossola-formazza) # Ossola & Val Formazza 82 huts · 302 walking routes · IT, CH · season 15 June 2026 to 30 September 2026 82 huts connected by 302 walking routes in the Ossola & Val Formazza massif. 41 of 82 huts in this region have live-checked availability. ## When do 2027 reservations open - **[Prenota Rifugi CAI](https://www.prenotarifugi.cai.it/come-funziona/)** (24 huts here): No single date. Each rifugio opens its own availability calendar on the portal; until it does, the page shows the information sheet only and booking is by phone or email. A deposit by card is required to book. Each rifugio sets its own cancellation terms and penalties, shown on its page. Checked against the portal on 27 August 2026. - **[hut-reservation.org (SAC huts)](https://www.hut-reservation.org/)** (16 huts here): The portal publishes no opening date, and the SAC states no common rule, so each hut opens the coming season on its own schedule. Watch the hut's own page on the portal. At staffed SAC huts a reservation fee of CHF 10 per guest per night is planned from 1 January 2027 at the earliest, taken at booking, credited against the stay and not refunded on cancellation. Solidarity contributions also start in 2027, CHF 3 a night for adult members and CHF 5 for adult non-members, running to 2029. Checked 27 August 2026. The portal itself publishes no opening date, so treat the timing as unconfirmed. - **[hut-reservation.org](https://www.hut-reservation.org/)** (1 hut here): No single date. Each hut opens the coming season for booking when it chooses, which the DAV puts as early as December and sometimes not until March; most reservations are made between mid-February and late April. As a rule beds can be reserved until 18:00 on the evening before arrival. Cancelled places go back on the calendar, often only a few days before the date. Checked against the portal on 27 August 2026. Once a portal opens, the [Ossola & Val Formazza map in HutScanner](/app?region=ossola-formazza) will show which of these huts still have beds on consecutive nights, so you can check a chain before you book on the portal. ## Huts in the Ossola & Val Formazza network | Hut | Altitude | Sleeps | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Almagelleralp](/huts/almagelleralp/) | 2194 m | | book online | | [Almagellerhütte](/huts/almagellerhutte/) | 2894 m | 120 | live-checked | | [Alpe Nuovo](/huts/alpe-nuovo/) | 1205 m | 13 | book online | | [Anenhütte](/huts/anenhutte/) | 2358 m | 50 | book online | | [B&B Alpe Sattal](/huts/b-b-alpe-sattal/) | 2093 m | | book online | | [Berghütte Hohsaas](/huts/berghutte-hohsaas/) | 3140 m | 72 | live-checked | | [Bergrestaurant Kreuzboden](/huts/bergrestaurant-kreuzboden/) | | | contact hut | | [Binntalhütte](/huts/binntalhutte/) | 2267 m | 50 | live-checked | | [Bivacco Velina-Baserga](/huts/bivacco-velina-baserga/) | 654 m | 6 | book online | | [Bortelhütten](/huts/bortelhutten/) | 2113 m | 40 | book online | | [Britanniahütte](/huts/britanniahutte/) | 3030 m | 101 | live-checked | | [Burghütte](/huts/burghutte/) | 1751 m | 32 | live-checked | | [Capanna Alpe Arena](/huts/capanna-alpe-arena/) | 1689 m | 30 | live-checked | | [Capanna Basodino CAS](/huts/capanna-basodino-cas/) | 1856 m | 59 | live-checked | | [Capanna Corno Gries CAS](/huts/capanna-corno-gries-cas/) | 2338 m | 46 | live-checked | | [Capanna Cristallina](/huts/capanna-cristallina/) | 2575 m | 120 | live-checked | | [Capanna Grossalp](/huts/capanna-grossalp/) | 1907 m | 26 | contact hut | | [Capanna Legnano](/huts/capanna-legnano/) | 1287 m | | | | [Capanna Piano delle Creste](/huts/capanna-piano-delle-creste/) | 2108 m | 36 | live-checked | | [Capanna Piansecco](/huts/capanna-piansecco/) | 1988 m | 46 | live-checked | | [Capanna Ribia](/huts/capanna-ribia/) | 1996 m | 12 | monitored | | [Capanna Sociale Città di Borgomanero](/huts/capanna-sociale-citta-di-borgomanero/) | | | | | [Galmihornhütte](/huts/galmihornhutte/) | 2113 m | 35 | live-checked | | [Gletscherstube Märjelen](/huts/gletscherstube-marjelen/) | 2360 m | 34 | book online | | [Hollandiahütte](/huts/hollandiahutte/) | 3238 m | 86 | live-checked | | [Mittlenberghütte](/huts/mittlenberghutte/) | 2395 m | 18 | book online | | [Oberaletschhütte](/huts/oberaletschhutte/) | 2640 m | 58 | live-checked | | [Posto tappa GTA Santa Maria da Bossi](/huts/posto-tappa-gta-santa-maria-da-bossi/) | | | | | [Posto tappa gta](/huts/posto-tappa-gta/) | 1411 m | 20 | contact hut | | [Rifugio 3A](/huts/rifugio-3a/) | 2912 m | 90 | book online | | [Rifugio Alpe Baranca](/huts/rifugio-alpe-baranca/) | 1600 m | | book online | | [Rifugio Alpe Campo](/huts/rifugio-alpe-campo/) | 1550 m | | contact hut | | [Rifugio Alpe Campo Superiore](/huts/rifugio-alpe-campo-superiore/) | 1923 m | | contact hut | | [Rifugio Alpe Colma](/huts/rifugio-alpe-colma/) | 1570 m | | book online | | [Rifugio Alpe Parpinasca](/huts/rifugio-alpe-parpinasca/) | 1210 m | 22 | book online | | [Rifugio Alpe il Laghetto](/huts/rifugio-alpe-il-laghetto/) | 2039 m | | live-checked | | [Rifugio Alpenrose](/huts/rifugio-alpenrose/) | | | monitored | | [Rifugio Andolla](/huts/rifugio-andolla/) | 2061 m | | monitored | | [Rifugio Barba Ferrero](/huts/rifugio-barba-ferrero/) | 2247 m | 26 | monitored | | [Rifugio Bim Se al Lago](/huts/rifugio-bim-se-al-lago/) | 1800 m | 24 | book online | | [Rifugio Blitz](/huts/rifugio-blitz/) | 1250 m | | | | [Rifugio Boffalora](/huts/rifugio-boffalora/) | 1685 m | 39 | monitored | | [Rifugio Brusà](/huts/rifugio-brusa/) | 1350 m | 11 | book online | | [Rifugio CAI Enrico Castiglioni](/huts/rifugio-cai-enrico-castiglioni/) | 1640 m | 50 | monitored | | [Rifugio CAI Fantoli](/huts/rifugio-cai-fantoli/) | | 18 | monitored | | [Rifugio CAI Pian Cavallone](/huts/rifugio-cai-pian-cavallone/) | 1530 m | 36 | monitored | | [Rifugio CAI di Saronno](/huts/rifugio-cai-di-saronno/) | 1827 m | 24 | monitored | | [Rifugio Camosci](/huts/rifugio-camosci/) | | | contact hut | | [Rifugio Casa dell'Alpino](/huts/rifugio-casa-dell-alpino/) | 1260 m | 15 | | | [Rifugio Citta Di Arona](/huts/rifugio-citta-di-arona/) | 1758 m | | monitored | | [Rifugio Città di Busto](/huts/rifugio-citta-di-busto/) | 2482 m | 47 | live-checked | | [Rifugio Città di Mortara -

The work is the chain: across these 82 huts and 302 walking routes, every night needs a bed at a hut you can walk to from the one before, on consecutive dates, and one full night sends you back to the start. HutScanner searches the whole network for a sequence that works on your dates, shifting the dates or swapping in a neighbouring hut when a chain does not hold, rather than leaving you to try the huts one at a time. 41 of the 82 huts here publish a calendar HutScanner can read, so those nights are checked rather than guessed; the rest are mapped and routable, and confirmed with the hut. If you plan trips through ChatGPT or Claude, they can run this same search for you without opening the app, over the regions HutScanner has reviewed by hand. How that works is described in [using HutScanner with AI assistants](/guides/ai-assistants-and-hutscanner/), and the endpoint is documented in the [OpenAPI spec](/api/openapi.json).
