About
Rifugio Almici sits at 1,865m in the Bergamasc Alps of Lombardy, serving hikers on routes through the Val Seriana. The hut is accessible from Valbondione village (1,520m) via a marked trail that takes roughly 2.5 hours. Summer is the main season for approaches from the valley floor.
The rifugio holds 30 beds across simple rooms. Half board (dinner, bed, breakfast) is standard. The kitchen serves straightforward mountain food—expect polenta, pasta, and local cheeses. There's a basic bar. Toilets are shared. The hut operates year-round but staffing is reduced in winter, so verify opening dates before travel.
Book by phone directly with the rifugio well ahead, especially for July and August weekends. July through September are busy months. The hut fills regularly with hikers using it as a base for day walks or as a stage on longer valley traverses. Arrive early in the day during peak season if you haven't booked.
