Rifugio Monte Zeus In Premia

Simply fantastic, excellent food, very kind staff...we will be back

We came for lunch, and we had a great time! Excellent food and very kind staff ❤️ Recommend 🫶🏻

We ate very well, the staff was super friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We relaxed and had a great time after a nice walk.

Highly recommended! You do need a vehicle, but the valley is beautiful for spending a few peaceful days here. The price/performance ratio of the rifugio is worth 6 stars. It's simple, but everything is clean, there's a normal toilet and a squat toilet, and three showers in the shared bathroom that work perfectly. The hospitality of Silvia, Giorgio, Alessandro, and Lucian is unbeatable. Thanks again for being patient with me and my rudimentary Italian :-) English is always fine here, too. If the opportunity arises, I'd love to come back. It's also ideal for motorcyclists. A day trip via Simplon, Furka, and Gotthard, and back over the pass road from Locarno toward Domodossola through the town of Re with its impressive basilica, is strenuous but recommended.

We stopped by by chance on a Sunday at 3:30 PM. Despite the late hour, the kitchen was open, and we were able to choose from the menu. The food was home-cooked and reasonably priced. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The refuge can be reached on foot from the Marmitte dei Giganti and other points along the trail, or by car on the paved road. The terrace offers a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. It was a pleasant discovery.
