Lombardy, Italy
About
Capanna Cadlimo sits at 2,570m on the slopes above the Camonica Valley in Lombardy. Approach from Ponte di Legno (1,258m) via the Valle Camonica trail—allow 4 to 5 hours of steady climbing through mixed terrain. The hut marks a natural stopping point for traverses across the Adamello massif and serves as a base for day ascents of surrounding peaks.
The hut sleeps 76 across shared dormitories. Half-board and full-board meals are available; the kitchen is simple but functional, with a self-catering option if you bring your own food. Water comes from a reliable spring. Expect basic Alpine refuge standards: no showers, heating by wood stove, pit toilets. The hut opens mid-June through September and operates on variable hours outside peak season. Phone ahead before visiting shoulder months.
Book directly by phone (+39 0364 91 037) or email. July and August fill quickly—reserve 4 to 6 weeks ahead for guaranteed beds. June and September are quieter. Payment by cash preferred; confirm methods before arrival. The hut is managed by local CAI, so rifugi.net listings may be outdated—phone contact is most reliable.

The hut typically operates June through September; confirm exact dates by phone before planning, as staffing depends on snow conditions and demand.
