About
Capanna Brogoldone sits at 1,910m in the Orobie Alps of Lombardy, east of Bergamo. Reach it from Foppolo (1,100m) in 2.5 hours via a steady trail through meadows and larch forest. The hut also connects south to Pizzo Cornello and north toward Monte Guglielmo, making it a natural waypoint on longer ridge traverses.
The hut holds 57 beds in shared rooms. Half-board and full-board meals are available, with typical Lombard mountain cooking. Tap water is reliable. There's no shower or power outlets—expect basic Alpine hut comfort. The season runs from June through September, with weekends occupied well before peak summer. Winter visits need prior arrangement.
Book by phone directly with the hut keeper. Call ahead even for same-day visits in July and August. July Saturdays and Sundays fill weeks in advance. June and September offer easier access. The hut is staffed year-round but operates seasonally, so confirm opening dates before planning an off-season trip.
