Quagliodromo
1.5
Lombardy, Italy
About
Quagliodromo sits at 2,020m on the Monte Brembo massif in the Orobie Alps, Lombardy. Reach it from Serina valley via the CAI trail to Passo di Murello (2,050m), then descend slightly to the hut—about 2 hours from the road. The approach is straightforward and open year-round in decent weather. Most hikers start early from the valley floor (allow 3.5–4 hours total). Winter snow blocks the route reliably from December to March.
The rifugio is a working mountain hut, not a resort. It has 30 beds in simple shared rooms and serves meals only at weekends and during the summer season (June–September). No hot showers; basic toilets. The kitchen handles group bookings easily if you call ahead. Winter visits are possible if you arrange food supplies and check conditions with CAI Bergamo first.
Book directly with the hut keeper several weeks ahead for summer weekends. July and August see consistent traffic, especially families from the Bergamo lowlands. The hut closes mid-October until late May except for occasional winter weekends. Contact through the Bergamo CAI section (cai.it) or ask locally in Serina—the hut is well known to valley residents and they can give you the current phone number.
