About

Capanna Bonardi - Mazzoleni sits at 1220m in the Lombardy Alps. Reach it via hiking trails from the Val Camonica or Val di Scalve valleys; most approaches take 2 to 3 hours from the nearest road. The hut works as a base for day hikes and scrambles across the limestone ridges and peaks typical of this region.

This is a small, no-frills refuge. Two beds means you'll be sharing close quarters. The hut has a self-catering kitchen where you prepare your own meals—bring all food with you. Drinking water is available on-site. There's no electricity, heating, or meals provided. Expect basic mountain shelter rather than amenities. Winter access is unreliable; plan visits between May and October when trails are snow-free and the hut is reliably open.

Contact the managing CAI section or check rifugi.net for current opening dates and key-access details before you go. This hut suits small groups on tight budgets who don't mind cooking for themselves and can navigate a very small space. Larger groups or anyone expecting hot meals should look elsewhere.
