About
Rifugio Parco Antola sits at 1,460m on the ridge between Val Fontanavecchia and Val Trebbia in the Antola massif, an hour northeast of Genova. Reach it on foot from Ferriere di Moconesi (40 minutes), from the Sella di Casaccia on the Ligure-Piacenza border (1.5 hours), or from Travo in Val Trebbia (2.5 hours). The approaches are straightforward hill walks on established tracks—nothing technical, though the terrain is steep in sections.
The rifugio has 50 beds across simple rooms. The kitchen serves honest meals and packed lunches; bring cash. Water comes from a spring. There's no shower. The hut operates year-round but is busier on weekends and during school holidays. Cell reception is unreliable; phone the hut ahead if you need confirmation. This is a working hiker's base, not a destination in itself—useful for traversing the Ligurian ridges or breaking a longer walk between the Piacenza and Genova valleys.
Contact the rifugio directly by phone to reserve beds, especially for weekends. July and August fill quickly. Weekday visits outside peak season are usually straightforward walk-ins. CAI members get a small discount. The hut accepts cash only for meals; confirm payment methods when booking.
