Alp Muot Selvas
1.7
Lombardy, Italy
About
Alp Muot Selvas sits at 2,587m in the Orobian Alps above the Val Brembana in Lombardy. Reach it from Piazza Brembana (900m) via the Passo della Forcella trail, a steady 4-5 hour climb through larch forest and alpine meadow. The final approach crosses open terrain with views east toward the Carnic Alps. Alternative access from Rifugio Nani (2,165m) takes 2-3 hours and connects to broader valley networks. Park in Piazza Brembana and plan your transport before arrival.
The hut operates as a simple mountain shelter with 20-30 bed capacity in dormitory rooms. Meals are basic but adequate—expect pasta, polenta, and local cheese. Hot water and composting toilets are standard. Staffing and opening vary by season; the hut operates reliably from June through September and weekends in shoulder months, but confirm before winter visits. This is a working mountain pasture with grazing animals, not a commercial facility.
Book directly with the managing group or contact the Val Brembana tourism office ahead of your trip. July and August weekends fill quickly. Bring cash—card payment may not be available. The hut works best as a stage on longer routes linking the Brembana valley to neighboring rifugios rather than a destination stay.

Typically open June through September, with peak staffing July-August; shoulder months may have reduced hours. Confirm current season dates before planning your trip.
Park in Piazza Brembana (900m) and follow the Passo della Forcella trail for 4-5 hours to the hut at 2,587m, or take the faster 2-3 hour route from Rifugio Nani (2,165m) if you're already in the valley.
Expect dormitory beds and basic Alpine hut meals (dinner, breakfast, packed lunches available); water and toilets are standard, but showers may be limited or absent—confirm amenities when booking.
The 4-5 hour ascent from Piazza Brembana is steady but long for young children; better suited to experienced hikers with good fitness, though the alternative route from Rifugio Nani is more manageable for families.
