About
Camona da Terri sits at 2,170m in the Lombardy Alps, accessed via the Val di Mello approach from Ardenno. The hut serves as a base for routes into the Masino-Bregaglia massif. Most hikers reach it in 3–4 hours from the valley floor, following a well-marked path that gains 1,100m steadily through larch forest before opening onto alpine meadows.
The hut holds 110 beds across multiple rooms. Half-board and full-board options are standard; the kitchen also accommodates self-caterers. Hot showers and reliable water supply are available. The hut operates year-round, though staffing is reduced in shoulder seasons—confirm opening dates before travelling in April or November. The terrace faces south toward the Masino peaks, a practical vantage point rather than a social space.
Book directly by phone or email at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August. Weekends fill quickly in June and September when the weather is stable but crowds thinner than midsummer. The hut management responds to enquiries in Italian and English. Arrive by late afternoon to secure a good meal sitting and allow time to acclimatise before higher routes.
