About

Rifugio Laguione sits at 1,520m in the Bergamo Alps of Lombardy, above the Val Brembana. The hut is accessible year-round by road from Piazza Brembana (about 45 minutes by car) or by hiking. Summer walkers typically approach from the Val Brembana in 2–3 hours. Winter access depends on snow conditions; call ahead if climbing in the cold months.

The rifugio has 40 beds split across multiple rooms and offers half-board or full-board arrangements. The kitchen serves traditional Lombard food and vegetarian options. A wood stove keeps the common room warm. Basic showers are available. The hut operates year-round but staffing in winter varies, so confirm ahead. Facilities are straightforward—this is a working mountain refuge, not a resort.

Book direct by phone or through the hut's website. July and August fill quickly; aim for bookings 6–8 weeks ahead during peak season. Winter weekends also attract snowshoers and skiers, so plan accordingly. If you're climbing in the Bergamo Alps, this hut works well as a base for scrambles and ridge walks in the area. The staff know the local conditions well.
