About

Cadifugio sits at 1,400m in the Ligurian Alps, accessible via hiking trails from the Passo del Turchino area. The approach takes 2–3 hours from the nearest road. This is a working base for ridge walking and day hikes across the Maritime Alps.

The hut sleeps 25 people in simple rooms. Meals are available on request—book your dinner when you reserve beds. Water comes from mountain springs. There are basic toilet facilities. The hut runs year-round but confirm opening dates before travel, as winter weather can force closures. Phone ahead to check current conditions.

Book directly by phone well in advance, especially for weekends and July–August. The hut manager handles reservations personally, so calling is faster than email. Weekend capacity fills quickly during summer months.
