About
Rifugio Valle di Mompiano sits at 2,550m in the Orobian Alps above the Val Seriana, in Lombardy. Reach it from Ardesio by hiking through Passo della Presolana (2,521m), then down to Rifugio Nembini before ascending the rocky spine toward Mompiano. The final push takes 3–4 hours from the road. The hut is also accessible via longer approaches from Val Brembana to the west. Trails here connect to higher passes and neighboring rifugios for multi-day traverses.
The hut is small, with 18 beds in shared dormitories. The guardian serves simple evening meals and breakfast. Water comes from a spring nearby. The rifugio opens June through September, closing in winter when snow makes access unsafe. Facilities are basic: no shower, no electricity in rooms. This is a working mountain hut, not a hotel.
Book directly by phone with the guardian. July and August require booking 2–3 weeks ahead. May and September are quieter. The hut is popular with groups doing the Orobian ridge traverses, so weekends fill faster than weekdays. Confirm opening dates before your trip, as spring snow can delay access.
