About
Rifugio Frasnedo sits at 1,287m on the edge of the Brescia pre-Alps, above the Val Trompia. The hut is accessible from Collio di Trompia via a 2.5-hour hike through beech forest. From Brescia city centre, drive to Collio and park at the trailhead. The approach gains 400m steadily uphill on clear paths. Summer hikers use this hut as a base for ridge walks toward Monte Arale and links to Rifugio Cipressino to the north.
The rifugio operates year-round and accommodates 30 guests in small dormitory rooms and a few private doubles. The kitchen serves home-made pasta and local Brescia fare; half-board is standard. Showers are available. The hut has phone reception and basic wifi. The common room faces south across the Val Trompia with views toward Lake Idro. The atmosphere is quiet—this is not a party hut.
Book directly by phone at least 2 weeks ahead during summer weekends. July and August fill by mid-week. The hut is run by a local family and takes reservations only; walk-ins are turned away if full. Out-of-season groups should confirm opening dates before traveling.
