The Capanna Cristallina at 2'572m (8'438ft) is situated in Ticino, Switzerland (the Itialian speaking part) and lies on a pass with the same name. This new hut replaced the old hut in 2003. I like the outside architecture, but the inside is to clean/sterile for my taste. Certainly very practical for the crew, but for me there was a soul missing somehow. The crew was very nice though.

We climbed the Cristallina at 2'912 meter, which gave a nice panorama all the way to the Bernese Alps. On the second picture those Bernese Alps can't be seen, but if you look closely, you can find the hut.
