About
Rifugio Giorgio Pirlo allo Spino sits at 1,167m in the foothills above the Val di Non, in Trentino-Alto Adige. The hut is reached via hiking trails from the villages below; most approaches take 2–3 hours depending on your starting point. The location makes it a practical base for day walks across the lower alpine meadows and forested ridges of this region, rather than a high-altitude mountaineering hub.
The rifugio accommodates 25 people in basic dormitory beds. Meals are served—book ahead to confirm availability, especially if you want dinner. The hut operates year-round but confirm opening dates before visiting, as winter staffing can be limited. Facilities include running water and a wood stove for warmth; expect mountain hut standards rather than hotel comfort.
Contact the hut directly by phone or email to book. The CAI Sezione di Salò manages the refuge. Book at least 2 weeks ahead for weekends and July–August. Weekday visits outside peak season often have beds available on shorter notice. Confirm your arrival time so the keeper knows when to expect you—late arrivals without warning may find the hut closed.
