About
Capanna dei Monti di Lego sits at 1,110m in the Monti di Lego range above the Val Seriana in Lombardy. Reach it from Ardesio in about 2 hours on foot via clear forest trails that gain 500m steadily through beech woodland. The hut works as a base for day hikes across the ridge system and as a waypoint on multi-day traverses of the lower Orobie Alps.
The rifugio holds 10 beds across simple dormitory rooms. Meals are basic but filling: expect pasta, polenta, and local cheeses. The hut has no shower but water is reliable. Winter closure is standard; opening dates depend on snow melt but typically run May through October. Phone ahead during shoulder seasons to confirm.
Book directly with the custodian—contact details are listed on rifugi.net. July and August demand advance notice of 2–3 weeks. April to June and September are quieter and easier to arrange. The hut is unmanned on weekdays outside peak season, so confirm availability before heading up the mountain.
