About
GAN Nembro sits at 1,650m in the Bergamasque Alps, accessible from the village of Nembro in the Seriana Valley. The main approach takes 2 hours 30 minutes from Nembro town centre via a well-marked trail through beech forest. A steeper variant from Anzanico takes 2 hours. The hut serves as a gateway to the surrounding ridge system and makes a solid base for day hikes across the eastern Orobie plateau.
The rifugio offers 40 beds in mixed dormitories and a few private rooms. Meals are available—half board is standard for multi-day stays. The kitchen provides packed lunches on request. Water comes from a spring; the hut has basic shower facilities. Open year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and the caretaker's availability. Heating is reliable in cold months.
Book direct with the hut by phone or email. July and August fill weekends regularly; reserve 3–4 weeks ahead for summer weekends. May, June, and September offer better availability. Winter visits require advance notice to confirm opening. The hut is managed locally and sits outside major club networks, so contact details matter—verify opening status before traveling in shoulder seasons.
