Refuge Pian della Mora

Rifugio Pian della Mora sits at 1,350m in the Bergamo Alps of Lombardy, on the flank of Pizzo dei Tre Signori. Reach it from the village of Branzi in about 2.5 hours on foot via a well-marked path through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The hut serves as a base for ridge traverses and scrambles across this compact but engaging range. Most parties hike in from Branzi in the morning; the refuge sits directly on the CAI hiking network.

The rifugio sleeps around 30 people in mixed dormitories and offers simple meals at dinner and breakfast. Water comes from mountain springs. Toilets are basic but functional. The hut operates year-round, though winter visits require prior arrangement. Mobile signal is reliable. Facilities are standard for a working mountain hut—no frills, food adequate and filling.

Book directly by phone or email through the guardian well ahead in July and August. The hut manages walk-ins outside peak season but does fill on summer weekends and Italian holidays. Access remains feasible in early summer and autumn when lower Alpine huts are overcrowded. Winter ascents are possible but snow conditions vary; call ahead to confirm conditions and hut status.
