Lombardy, Italy
About
Capanna Quarnei sits at 2,107m in the Bergamasque Alps, serving the eastern Lombardy approaches to Val Seriana. Reach it from Roncobello in 2.5 hours via the Piano di Zocca, or from Dossena in 3 hours via Valle di Zocca. Both routes climb steadily through mixed forest to open pasture. The hut makes a solid base for traverses toward Pizzo della Presolana or Cima di Rosola.
The hut has 58 beds split across six private rooms and shared dormitories. Meals are served daily. Water is available on-site. The season typically runs from spring through autumn, though conditions determine exact opening dates. Standards are straightforward—expect basic Alpine hut hospitality, not hotel comfort.
Book directly by phone or email. Contact details are available through rifugi.net. July and August weekends fill fast, so contact the hut 6-8 weeks ahead for summer dates. Off-season (June, September) offers more flexibility. Confirm opening dates before planning a winter or early spring visit.
