About

Nuova Capanna Gesero sits at 2,003m in the Biscia locality above the Val Camonica in Lombardy. The hut works well as a base for ridge walks and day hikes across this section of the Orobie Alps. Most people approach from the valley floor (allow 2–3 hours depending on your start point). The location gives you quick access to higher terrain without the commitment of a remote location.

The hut has 32 beds spread across simple rooms. You can eat here—the kitchen serves meals to residents and day visitors. Water comes from a reliable spring. There's no electricity or heating beyond what's needed for cooking, so expect basic mountain hut conditions. The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and weather.

Book well ahead for July and August. Contact the hut directly by phone or email to check availability and meals. Off-season weekends fill quickly with local hiking groups. If you're planning a multi-day traverse or using this as a rest day on a longer route, confirm bed availability at least two weeks out.
