The hut Quintino Sella at Felik Monte Rosa
The Quintino Sella al Felik Hut is located on the Italian side of the Monte Rosa massif, at an altitude of 3,585 metres. It is the destination of a spectacular and challenging hike through either the Gressoney Valley or the Ayas Valley. The hut is the starting point for the ascent of Castor, one of the most accessible 4,000-metre peaks in the Alps. It is also a key stop on the Monte Rosa 4,000-metre Peaks Tour, which crosses the entire high-altitude chain of 4,000-metre summits, as well as on the ascent of Eastern Lyskamm or the crossing of the Western Lyskamm.
The hut can accommodate up to 114 mountaineers across two floors: the first floor has 13 bedrooms, while the second floor features a large attic-style dormitory divided into 6 separate sections by wooden partitions.
At the entrance, there is a spacious and practical area with drying facilities and shelving for mountaineering equipment. The bright dining room offers beautiful views of the glacier, a relaxation area and a smaller, more intimate room, ideal for groups.
The toilets are located on the ground floor. Two pay-per-use showers are also available, subject to sufficient water reserves.
