About
Rifugio della Corte sits at 1,250m in the Brescia Alps, on the edge of the Val Trompia. Reach it from the village of Collio by hiking northeast through mixed forest—the walk takes roughly 2.5 hours. The approach is steady rather than steep, making it a reasonable day's walk from lower valleys. You can also approach from Lumezzane to the south, a longer route that takes 4–5 hours but offers better views of the surrounding ridges.
The rifugio operates year-round and holds about 40 beds split between private rooms and dorm spaces. Meals focus on Brescia mountain cooking: polenta, casserole, local cheese. The kitchen serves dinner and packed lunches on request. Hot showers are available. This is a working hut, not a destination in itself—use it as a base for day walks into the surrounding limestone country or as a stop on longer traverses through the Val Trompia.
Book through rifugi.net or contact the hut directly. Winter weekends fill quickly, particularly in January and February when locals use it for short breaks. Summer is consistently busy during July and August. The hut accepts groups but requires notice. Arrive by early afternoon if walking in the same day, as the final forest section is poorly marked after dusk.
