About
Rifugio Lupi di Brembilla sits at 1,285m in the Brembana Valley, a few kilometers above the village of Brembilla in Lombardy. Most hikers reach it on foot from Brembilla village (allow 1.5 hours, moderate gradient through mixed woodland). The approach is straightforward and well-marked. You can also drive most of the way if mobility is limited, though the final stretch involves a steep unpaved road.
The rifugio has 40 beds across simple double and multi-bed rooms. Meals focus on Lombard specialties—expect polenta, casunziei (filled pasta), and grilled meats. Showers and basic toilets are available. The hut operates year-round, though weekends fill quickly in summer and autumn. The location works as a base for day walks into the Prealps or as an overnight stop on longer valley treks.
Book directly via phone: +39 345 652 6144. July and August weekends are busy; aim to ring 2–3 weeks ahead during summer. Weekdays outside July–August rarely require advance booking. The hut is family-run and fills a genuine gap for accessible overnight stays in the Brembana—expect practical hospitality rather than luxury.
