Berghuus Radons sits at the far end of a side valley in Val Surses, just above the old mountain settlement of Radons. Savognin is down in the valley. Up here, the view is pasture, rock and the peaks of Piz Forbesch and Piz Arlos. Radons began as a Maiensäss, a seasonal stopping place where farming families brought their animals between the village and the higher summer pastures. The small timber buildings remain scattered across the plateau, with no real village centre and very little traffic.
The Berghuus was built in 1939 and extended in the 1980s. For years, it operated as a traditional mountain inn with a self-service restaurant, bunk beds and shared bathrooms. Fadri Arpagaus took it over in 2019 and reopened it after a major renovation in 2020. The old structure remains visible, particularly in the original pine-panelled dining room. Newer parts use reclaimed timber, local stone, linen, leather and bronze. Cracks, knots and marks in the wood were kept rather than covered.
The standard is high, but the place still feels like a mountain house. Walkers stop for lunch, skiers arrive directly from the piste, and overnight guests gather around the fire once the day visitors have gone.
