About

Rifugio Maria e Franco Lomini sits at 2,572m in the Brenta Dolomites, accessible from the Val d'Ampezzo. Most hikers approach from Rifugio Fedare in 3–4 hours, traversing exposed terrain with fixed cables on steeper sections. The hut anchors routes between the Brenta's dramatic limestone walls and connects to the longer Via delle Trincee circuit. Weather can close access above 2,400m from October through May.

The hut sleeps 37 across dormitory rooms. Half-board is standard: evening meals feature hearty mountain cooking, breakfasts are substantial. Water is collected from snowmelt and stored in tanks—expect rationing during dry summers. There's no shower. The kitchen closes at 10pm. Colder months (November–April) are unreliable for access and the hut may reduce services. July and August bring full crowds; June and September offer better conditions without peak demand.

Book directly by phone or email with the Brescia CAI section. Telephone lines are often busy; email responses take 2–3 days. Confirm your arrival time—late arrivals after 7pm must be pre-arranged. July bookings should be made by mid-April. The hut accepts cash and card payments. Bring layers: wind and sudden fog are common, and the hut has limited heating.
