Lombardy, Italy

About

Tea del Plan sits at 2,220m on the Passo del Gavio approach in Lombardy's Orobian Alps. From Angolo Terme, take the Val Seriana road toward Passo Gavio. The hut is reached via a rough road or foot trail climbing 1.5 hours from the rifugian parking area near Lizzola. Mountain bikers access it directly from the road in summer.

The hut offers 40 beds in shared rooms and operates a simple restaurant serving regional pasta and local cheese. Basic facilities include running water and toilets; showers are cold but functional. Open year-round for day-trippers and weekenders, though winter access depends on road conditions and staff availability—phone ahead to confirm. The hut works as a refueling point for high-altitude routes crossing toward Passo dell'Ercavallo and the Pizzo Coca massif.

Contact the hut directly at their landline or email. July and August weekends fill quickly; book 2-3 weeks ahead for guaranteed beds. Winter visits require advance notice. Half-board options are available. The hut is not affiliated with major Alpine clubs but welcomes independent hikers and mountain bikers throughout the season.
