About
Rifugio Alpe Corte sits at 1,410m in the Bergamasque Alps, accessible from the Seriana Valley. The main approach takes 2.5 hours from Castione della Presolana, following trail markers through beech forest to the alp. You can also reach it from the Boite di Orzinuovi side in around 3 hours. The hut serves as a logical stop for traverses across this quieter section of the Orobie range, well-positioned between the Val Seriana and Val Cavallina.
The rifugio has 24 beds across multiple rooms. Meals focus on Lombard mountain food. Water comes from the spring on the alp. The hut operates year-round, though winter visits require advance notice. Phone ahead to confirm availability in shoulder seasons. Facilities include a wood stove for warmth. This is a working mountain hut, not a resort—expect basic comfort.
Book direct with CAI Bergamo Sezione Locatelli by email or phone. July and August weekends fill 4–6 weeks ahead. Mid-week and shoulder seasons (May–June, September–October) are easier. Winter ascents need confirmed staffing, so contact them at least one week ahead. The hut prefers calls or emails to walk-ins, especially outside summer.
