About
Rifugio Alpini di Concesio sits at 550m in the foothills above Brescia, in the Lombardy pre-Alps. Reach it from Concesio village (30 minutes' drive northeast of Brescia) via a marked hiking trail that takes 1.5 to 2 hours. The approach is steady rather than steep, crossing mixed woodland and pasture. Most visitors combine it with nearby peaks like Monte Maddalena or use it as a base for day walks through the Brescia limestone hills.
The rifugio is a working hut managed by the local alpine club. It has capacity for around 40 people, with dormitory and a few private rooms. Kitchen facilities are basic but functional. Meals focus on hearty regional cooking—expect pasta, polenta, and local game in season. The hut opens year-round, though winter weekends are busier than midweek. It's popular with day-hikers from Brescia, so expect crowds on Sundays and public holidays.
Book directly by phone or email, especially if you want half-board or have dietary needs. Weekend capacity fills quickly during spring and autumn. Weekday reservations are usually straightforward even in peak season. Phone ahead to confirm opening hours and current meal availability, as staffing can be limited outside summer months.
