About
Capanna Righetti Fibbioli sits at 2,285m in the Bergamasque Alps, on the ridge between Passo della Gherla and Passo di Venerocolo. Reach it from Piazzatorre in the Val Brembana by hiking northeast to Passo della Gherla (2–2.5 hours), then along the ridge trail to the hut (45 minutes). This is open ridge walking with exposure in places. The hut also connects west to Rifugio Allievi and south toward the Brembana valley via Passo di Venerocolo.
The hut is small and basic. It sleeps around 20 across dorm beds. Meals are simple and hearty—pasta, risotto, local cheeses—served communal-style. There is no shower. Water comes from a spring. The hut operates year-round, though winter access is by foot only; snow can make the ridge approach serious. Staff are friendly but numbers drop in winter. This is a working mountain base, not a hotel.
Book direct by phone. Contact details can be found on rifugi.net or through CAI Bergamo. July and August need 3–4 weeks' notice. Off-season weekends fill up with skiers and winter hikers. The hut closes for several weeks in November, so check before planning an autumn trip.
