Lombardy, Italy Write a review

About

Osteria Alpina sits at 1,650m in the Lombardy Alps, accessible via a 2.5-hour hike from the valley village of Schilpario. The approach follows marked trails through mixed forest and alpine meadow, gaining roughly 700m elevation. The hut works as a base for day walks across the surrounding peaks and ridges, including ascents of Pizzo Camino (2,349m) and routes into the Orobie range.

The hut operates year-round and sleeps 40 people in mixed and private rooms. Hot meals are served at lunch and dinner; half-board and full-board options are available. The kitchen caters to walkers with hearty mountain food. A small bar serves coffee and drinks. Showers are available. This is a working Alpine hut, not a hotel—expect functional comfort rather than frills. WiFi is limited.

Book by phone directly with the hut. Summer weekends (June through September) fill quickly; call at least 3–4 weeks ahead for July and August. Shoulder seasons (May, late September, October) have more availability. The hut accommodates groups year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions—contact ahead if planning a winter visit. Half-board rates are reasonable for the location and accessibility.
