Lombardy, Italy
About
Rifugio F.lli Calvi sits at 2,804m in the Bergamasque Alps, on the Pizzo Cambrils ridge. Reach it from Piazza Brembana via the Alpe Giumello trail—allow 4–5 hours for the 1,100m ascent. A shorter variant starts from Rifugio Gallo, adding 2–3 hours to your day. The hut works as a base for traverses toward Pizzo Cambrils or connections east to the Brembana valley network.
The refuge holds 60 beds across mixed dorms and a few doubles. Full board is standard. Kitchen facilities are basic but functional. Water comes from mountain springs. The hut operates July through September, with weekends extended into early October depending on snow. Lower season brings reduced staff and limited meals—ring ahead if visiting outside peak weeks.
Book through rifugio.it or contact the refuge directly by phone. July and August weekends fill by mid-June; book 6–8 weeks ahead if visiting then. Weekdays and September offer more flexibility. The hut manages itself without a managing club affiliation, so direct contact is your only option.
