About

Rifugio Giuseppe Garibaldi sits at 2,548m on the Adamello Massif in Trentino-Alto Adige. Reach it from Passo del Tonale (1,883m) via the Vallone di Adamello valley. The standard route takes 3.5 to 4 hours of moderate hiking, with a 665m elevation gain. Winter approaches are often blocked; check conditions before you go.

The rifugio holds 98 beds across multiple rooms. Half-board and full-board meals are available, with evening pasta and hearty breakfasts. Water comes from mountain springs. The hut operates year-round but is quietest October through April. Facilities include a common room with a wood stove and basic shower access. There is no electricity from solar panels alone, so evening light is limited. This is a working mountain hut, not a hotel.

Book direct with the managing section (CAI Brescia) by email or phone. July and August fill 8–12 weeks ahead; book by June 1st if you want a weekend bed. You can also book through rifugi.net or check availability on cai.it. If the hut is full, staff will suggest alternatives on the Adamello traverse. Call ahead in shoulder seasons (May, September) to confirm the kitchen is staffed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Book at least 2–3 weeks ahead during July and August, especially weekends; shoulder seasons (June, September) need less notice. Call the rifugio directly or check rifugi.net for availability.
Typically open June through September; winter access is unreliable due to snow and avalanche risk in Vallone di Adamello. Confirm opening dates and current conditions before your trip.
Start from Passo del Tonale (1,883m) and hike up Vallone di Adamello for 3.5–4 hours with 665m elevation gain on a moderate trail; the route is well-marked but exposed to weather.
98 beds in shared rooms, half-board and full-board meals available, hot breakfasts, and evening pasta; water from mountain springs, but no shower facilities mentioned—bring wet-wipe alternatives.
Yes, for fit beginners with some Alpine experience—the 3.5–4 hour approach and 665m gain are moderate, but altitude (2,548m) and exposed terrain demand acclimatization and decent weather; not ideal for young children.
