Originale Rustico Alpe Gribel

Switzerland-6655 Intragna

A former alpine pasture where cows grazed in summer. After a hike of about an hour from the car park (token CHF 20.- including use of a private road), you reach Gribel, a fantastic place to retreat from everything and truly find yourself again. That's what holidays are all about... with mountain views. On such alpine pastures, the Ticino mountain farmers used to harvest grass in summer for the coming winter. The Rustico (Ticino natural stone house) has been preserved exactly as I originally inh…

Top as always. Even more so with the new toilet. Rustic, simple, magnificent nature. A great retreat. Thanks, Stefan, for making this possible!

Ein grosses Lob an Stefano für seine Betreuung. Besser geht es nicht. Der Wanderweg dorthin ist sehr schön und auch im dunkeln machbar. Das Rustico ist wirklich sehr einfach und man muss damit leben, dass nach dem Aufenthalt alles in die Waschmaschine kommt. Der Rauch stetzt sich fest. Das Plumsklo könnte etwas gemütlicher gestaltet werden und das Geschirr/Besteck bräuchte ein Update. Bei den Matratzen wäre ein Schutzüberzug zu empfehlen. Es war für uns eine tolle und schöne Erfahrung.

Wirklich sehr rustikal. Eine sanfte Renovierung wäre vielleicht mal angebracht (persönliche Meinung), daher auch 1 Stern Abzug. Ansonsten wie beschrieben. Absoluter super Ruheort. Habe es sehr genossen und kann es weiterempfehlen. Auch ist Stefan immer erreichbar und hat viel interessantes Hintergrundwissen.

Very friendly contact with Stefano. We were thoroughly informed about the Rustico and were able to enjoy some autumn days, rain or shine, on the tranquil and simply furnished alp. If you appreciate cooking over an open fire and don't mind the smoke, this is the right place for you. The only thing we missed was a suitable chestnut pan.

Rustic, but that's exactly what we were looking for. We would come back immediately and thoroughly enjoyed the seclusion. Stefan was always reachable and very helpful. We found the Rustico immediately with the description. It's a shame the previous guests didn't restock the woodpile.
