About
Rifugio Santa Rita stands at 1,989m on the slopes above the Vallecamonica in Lombardy. The standard approach is from Collio, a 3-hour trek gaining 700m through mixed woodland that opens to pasture as you climb. Alternative access routes exist from the eastern valleys, though these take longer. The hut sits well-positioned for day walks across the local plateau and ridge network.
The refuge accommodates 70 guests in shared rooms. Meals are available: dinner and breakfast are standard offerings, and packed lunches can be ordered the night before. Hot showers are available. The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and you should confirm beforehand. The kitchen is basic but functional.
Book directly by phone to secure beds, especially from June through September when weekends fill quickly. July and August demand advance booking—aim for 4-6 weeks minimum during these months. Weekday visits outside peak season are usually available with shorter notice. The hut staff speak Italian primarily; have your dates and group size ready when you call.
