About
Rifugio Camposecco sits at 608m in the foothills north of Bergamo, Lombardy. Reach it from the village of Roncobello on foot in 2.5 hours via the Valle Brembana. The approach climbs steadily through beech woodland. Most hikers arrive from the south; the rifugio also connects to longer ridge walks toward Monte Secco and eastward into the Orobie range.
The hut is small—capacity around 30 beds in basic dormitory rooms. Food is simple and hearty: pasta, polenta, local cheese. A wood stove heats the main room in cooler months. There is no hot shower; washing water comes from an outside tap. The rifugio opens year-round but is quietest November to March. Weekends fill quickly in summer and autumn.
Book direct by phone or email. July and August need advance booking—aim for at least 4 weeks ahead on weekends. Spring and autumn weekends also get busy. Midweek and winter slots are usually available. The hut is managed privately and does not use the national rifugio booking platforms.
