About
Cufercalhütte sits at 2,385m in the Orobian Alps of Lombardy, in SAC (Swiss Alpine Club) territory near the Bergamo region. Reach it from Piazzatorre valley via the Serina valley approach—allow 4 to 5 hours on foot from the road head. The hut marks a junction point for ridge walks and peak attempts in the surrounding limestone and dolomite terrain.
The hut has 22 beds across dormitory rooms. The keeper serves hot meals and simple dinners; bring your own lunch or order ahead. Drinking water is reliable. There's no shower. The hut operates year-round but verify opening dates before winter visits, as staffing can be irregular outside summer. SAC membership gets you a small discount on bed rates.
Book direct by phone or email well ahead for July and August—this hut fills fast on weekends. May and September are quieter and often more pleasant for hiking. Check current contact details on the SAC website or contact the Orobian Alps section directly. Arrive before dark; the approach is steep and exposed in places.
