About
Rifugio Gugiatti-Sertorelli sits at 2,137m on the Passo del Tonale massif between Lombardy and Trentino. Reach it from the Tonale Pass (1,883m) in 2.5 hours; the trail climbs steadily northeast through sparse larch and alpine meadow. From Val Camonica to the south, allow 4–5 hours. This is a working hut for mountaineers tackling peaks in the Adamello-Presanella range, not a casual rest stop.
The rifugio has 14 beds in shared dorms. Meals are available on request; book in advance if you want dinner cooked. Water comes from a mountain spring. There is no shower. The hut operates year-round but staffing is intermittent in winter; check availability before heading up. The location makes it useful for traverses of the Presanella massif and winter ski mountaineering routes.
Contact the managing CAI section directly or book via rifugi.net. July and August fill weeks ahead. June and September are more reliable. Winter visits require confirmed staffing—ring ahead before committing to a winter trip. Allow 48 hours notice for meal preparation.
