About
Rifugio Trona Soliva sits at 1900m in the Brescia Alps of Lombardy, on the Gaver plateau. Approach from the Val Camonica side: most hikers start from the village of Artogne and climb 4–5 hours through mixed forest to the hut. The route is well-marked and steady, gaining 700m elevation. Winter access is unreliable; confirm conditions before departing.
The rifugio is a simple, traditional mountain shelter with capacity for around 30 guests. It serves hearty Lombard food at dinner and provides basic accommodation in mixed dorms. There is no electricity or running water; the hut relies on a spring and generator. Meals are substantial and fuel-efficient—expect polenta, pasta, and local cheese. The hut operates year-round but services are minimal in winter; verify opening dates before traveling. Showers are cold and sometimes unavailable.
Book by phone or email directly to the hut. Summer weekends fill quickly, especially July and August; contact at least 3–4 weeks ahead for peak season. The hut sits on several regional CAI routes and is popular with groups, so expect company on fine weather weekends. Half-board (bed and dinner) is the standard arrangement. Payment is cash only; there is no card facility.
