Rif. Antonio ed Elia Longoni
5.0About
Rif. Antonio ed Elia Longoni sits at 2,450m on the slopes of the Orobian Alps in Lombardy. Approach from Piazza Brembana via the Passo della Cambrils trail, a 4-hour hike gaining 1,100m elevation. The route is well-marked and follows CAI waymarks through alpine meadow and rock terrain. You can also reach the hut from Lizzola or the Val Brembana valley in 3–4 hours depending on your starting point.
The hut sleeps 25 people in simple shared dormitory accommodation. You'll find drinking water on-site. The refuge operates as a walker's base for routes across the Orobian ridge. The managing club is CAI Seregno, which keeps the hut year-round, though winter conditions require proper experience and equipment. Meals and hot drinks are provided when the hut is staffed. Check opening dates before planning a winter visit.
Book by phone or email directly with CAI Seregno. Full contact details are available via rifugi.net or cai.it. July and August fill quickly—contact the hut 6–8 weeks ahead for weekend visits in summer. Shoulder seasons (June, September) offer more flexibility. The hut is popular with day-walkers from the valley, so overnight capacity can be limited on weekends.
