An incredibly beautiful place, which we easily reached on foot from Splügen. The hut is not staffed, but can be booked for one night. Drinking water is fetched from the spring by boat... row across the upper Surettasee, enjoy the panorama, and refill your drinking water supplies at the spring... a truly adventurous experience.

While down in the Rheinwald, in Sufers, traffic rumbles on the A13, up here you can enjoy the peace and romance of the Cufercal hut. Popular with hikers and bikers, it is the only SAC hut in the Beverin Nature Park, where the ibex was reintroduced in 1954. The half-dozen small lakes in the immediate vicinity are particularly attractive. In winter, the terrain is suitable for easy ski and snowshoe tours. Reservations can be made online by 6:00 p.m. the evening before at the latest under “Prices/Reservations”.

History of the goat in Valsertal The importance of goats in Valsertal «Anyone who is unable to keep a cow in Vals happily 'chases' a number of goats around and is therefore called 'es Geisspeirli'. – This dry sentence from Jörger’s ‘Bei den Valser des Valsertals’ in no way does justice to the importance of the Geiss for the people of Vals. Jörger then catches up on this further down, where he explains: ‘In addition to the cattle, every farmer keeps a number of goats, a dozen or more. They appear in all shapes and colors, with or without horns, the hornless ones are called 'Mutscha'. The Vals goat is the companion of the cow on the alp. For the summer milk during the hay harvest, goats from the Lugnez used to be leased and paid with butter or sheep's wool. In his work Das Alpwesen Graubündens (1947), Richard Weiss also emphasizes the importance of keeping goats, especially for the socially disadvantaged class. 'Today, as in the past, the goat is important and indispensable, especially for the poor among the population as a dairy animal, the 'cow of the poor'.
