The renowned Margherita Hut, established in 1893 bears the name of the Queen Margherita of Savoy to whom Neapolitan pizza makers honored by creating the Margherita pizza. Despite its location the hut boasts amenities. While staying there guests have the option of selecting either board or a breakfast buffet with rave reviews, about the quality of the Margherita pizza.
The Margherita hut – Capanna Regina Margherita – is best reached from the Gnifetti hut (3,625 m). First ascend to the Zurbriggenjoch. Cross the pass, pass the Seserjoch on Swiss territory and continue steeply towards the Signalkuppe.
The hut is an ideal starting point for glacier tours to the Zumsteinspitze, Dufourspitze, Nordend and Liskamm peaks.
A highlight of the 5-day spaghetti tour in the Monte Rosa massif is the overnight stay at the Margherita hut. The spaghetti route in the Monte Rosa massif is legendary and one of the most beautiful multi-day alpine tours in the Alps.
