About
Capanna Adula sits at 2,012m in the Lepontine Alps of Lombardy, reached via the Val d'Ambria from Lanzada. The approach takes 3 hours on a well-marked trail through open terrain. This is a working base for ridge walks and scrambles across the northern Lepontine peaks, not a destination hut.
The hut sleeps 24 in shared rooms. The kitchen serves simple meals at dinner; you can also cook your own food in the self-catering kitchen. Water is available on-site. The hut runs year-round but is most reliably staffed June through September. Capacity fills quickly during July and August weekends. Winter visits need confirmation before arrival.
Book directly by phone or email as far ahead as possible. For July and August weekends, contact the hut 2–3 months in advance. The CAS (Club Alpino Svizzero) manages the hut, and members get modest discounts. Phone and email details are on cai.it.
