About

Rifugio Consorzio Prati di Brusada sits at 1,555m in the Bergamasque Alps of Lombardy, on the Piani di Brusada plateau. From Castione della Presolana, follow the CAI trail up through mixed forest for 2 hours to reach the hut. The approach is steady and well-marked, gaining 400m elevation. Most hikers access it as a base for day walks across the Piani di Brusada, a network of high meadows with views toward the Orobie range.

The rifugio offers 30 beds in mixed dorm rooms and has a basic restaurant serving hearty mountain food. Half-board is the standard arrangement. The hut stays open year-round, though staffing can be limited outside peak season. WiFi is available, which is unusual for huts at this elevation. The building maintains a working farm character—cattle graze on the surrounding pastures in summer.

Book directly by phone or email. Summer weekends fill fast, especially July and August. Plan ahead for holiday periods. Winter access depends on snow conditions; contact the hut before traveling. The location makes it a popular stopover for extended hikes linking Presolana and the Piani di Brusada valleys.
