The Fondazione Curzùtt - San Barnard was established in 1998 with the aim of reviving the main historic, artistic and scenic testimonies of the "Collina Alta" of Monte Carasso near Bellinzona. The Foundation has furthermore set up a comfortable youth and group hostel in order to foster an understanding for and arouse interest in culture and nature by actively including young people. As in most parts of the Ticino, many different eco systems merge together in a tiny area on the Collina Alta of Monte Carasso. The wealth this represents is priceless.
The morphological and climatic conditions of the area allowed the development of a community (until 1700 seven hundred people lived in the various settlements) which lived in harmony with countryside and nature.

Curzùtt Youth Hostel
The youth hostel is located in the Curzùtt settlement. There are 36/40 beds in total, divided into units for 6 people with bath and shower.
There is a multi-functional hall which accommodates 70-90 people. The outdoor patio is at the disposal of visitors.
There is also a restaurant (reservation recommended Tel +41 91 835 57 23) and a confrence room.

The presence of several historic art treasures, a network of educational trails and varied landscape make this a particularly suitable destination for schools organising study weeks.
Although the hostel is located outside Bellinzona, there are a few cultural events, and entertainment and leisure facilities in the immediate vicinity. The venue is also suitable for all sorts of seminars and study days.
