Refuge Antonio Devoto

Liguria, Italy
About
Rifugio Antonio Devoto sits at 1,430m in the Ligurian Alps, on the ridge between the Trebbia and Aveto valleys. Reach it in 2 hours from Passo del Tomarlo (1,224m) on foot. The nearest road access is via Corte Teglia. Most hikers approach from the Trebbia valley or via trails from Ferriere. This hut marks a logical stopping point on longer traverses of the western Ligurian watershed.
The refuge has 30 beds and serves meals to residents and day visitors. They offer a simple kitchen, dining room with wood stove, and basic shower facilities. The hut operates year-round but check conditions in winter—snow can cut road access. Food supply depends on visibility and weather, so expect simple dishes rather than elaborate menus. Staffing is seasonal, so verify opening dates before planning a winter visit.
Call ahead to book beds and meals. Phone lines can be unreliable at this elevation; allow extra time for communication. July and August weekends fill quickly. The hut prefers advance notice for groups. There is no website listed, so telephone remains the only booking method. Arrive by early afternoon to secure accommodation during busy periods.
