The Pianseccohütte ( Italian Capanna Piansecco CAS ) is a mountain hut of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) and property of the Bellinzona section (Italian CAS Bellinzona e Valli ).
description
The hut is located at an altitude of 1982 m at the southern foot of Pizzo Rotondo ( 3192 m ) and above the Nufenenpass road . The hut, which stands on a moraine and is surrounded by larches, is located on the Alpe di Rotondo , above the village of All'Acqua in the municipality of Bedretto in the upper Bedretto valley in the canton of Ticino .
A former military barracks served as the first hut from 1972. In 1995, a two-story new building in masonry and wood was built near them. The new hut has two kitchens with wood stoves and offers a lounge for 48 people and 44 beds in four rooms with 10 beds and one room with 4 beds. In the absence of the hut warden, a stove with wood or gas including kitchen utensils is available. Toilets and running water are located inside the building. It is heated with wood. There are solar panels for the lighting.
The hut is suitable for children's holidays, hikes, climbing (Poncione di Ruino), ski and summit tours and as a stage stop for long-distance hikes. It is located directly on the Bedretto high-altitude hiking trail ( Sentiero alto Val Bedretto ) from the Gotthard to the Nufenpass, which was opened in 1998. In August 2006, a new, comfortable hut trail from All'Acqua was inaugurated, which is suitable for families with children.
