About
Rifugio Caviazza sits at 2,260m in the Bergamasc Alps, on the southern flank of Monte Camminelle. The approach is straightforward: drive to Foppolo (1,515m), then hike 2.5 hours to the hut via a well-marked trail that gains 700m steadily but never steeply. The route follows a ridge with good views south across the Brembana valley. Most hikers arrive by mid-afternoon.
The hut holds 30 people in eight rooms with shared bathrooms (no hot water beyond washing). Half and full board are standard; meals are solid mountain fare, heavy on pasta and polenta. The building is simple—thick stone walls, basic but functional—and sits in open terrain with grazing pasture around it. You can leave your car at Foppolo. Rifugio Caviazza is open June through September, though snow can linger into late June.
Book directly by phone or email well ahead for July and August weekends. Groups of eight or more should call 2–3 weeks prior. They prefer cash, though they accept cards. The hut fills quickly during school holidays. Arrive before 18:00 to guarantee a meal. The caretaker speaks Italian and some English.
