About
Madonna del Corno sits at 2,100m on the Brescia pre-Alps, a 2.5-hour walk from the village of Provaglio d'Iseo. The hut serves as a base for ridge traverses across the Montecchia group and scrambles to nearby peaks. Summer approach uses the well-marked trail from Provaglio; winter access is harder and requires experience on steep terrain.
The hut sleeps 12 across simple dormitory rooms. Meals are available—book these when you reserve beds. Water comes from a spring nearby; the kitchen is basic. The hut stays open year-round but staff presence is irregular outside July and August, so confirm availability before heading up. CAI di Provaglio manages the rifugio as a working mountain base, not a tourist facility.
Call ahead to book beds and meals. Phone contact details are available through CAI Brescia or on cai.it. Peak season is July–August; book 4–6 weeks ahead for those months. The hut fills quickly on summer weekends. Winter visits require coordination with the managing club, as staffing is sporadic and weather can make access dangerous.

Frequently Asked Questions

Open June through September for regular staffing; the hut may be accessible outside these months but facilities are minimal and you should confirm conditions first.
Start from Provaglio d'Iseo village; the summer trail is well-marked and takes 2.5 hours to reach the hut at 2,100m. Winter approach is steep and technical—only attempt with Alpine experience.
12 beds in simple dormitory rooms, meals available (must book when reserving), basic kitchen, and spring water. No shower; expect minimal comfort typical of small Alpine rifugios.
Yes for summer hiking—the 2.5-hour trail from Provaglio is straightforward and the hut is a solid base for ridge walks and peak scrambles. Avoid in winter unless you have mountaineering skills.
