About
Quattro Bar Corviglia sits at 2,556m on the Corviglia pass in the Orobian Alps, between the Brembana and Serina valleys. Reach it from Serina village (6km south) via the mule track that climbs steeply for 2 hours, or from the north via the Brembana valley—both routes converge at the pass. The hut is a waypoint on the Orobian traverse and the CAI trail network, with access to peaks including Pizzo Tre Signori (2,645m) and routes into the Val Serina watershed.
The rifugio operates year-round and holds around 30 beds in mixed dormitories. It serves simple hot meals and drinks; bring cash. Water comes from the pass spring. The building is basic and exposed—expect wind and weather. Summer sees steady traffic from through-hikers and day walkers. Winter access depends on snow conditions and is for experienced mountaineers only.
Book ahead during July and August, especially weekends. Contact the hut directly by phone or via rifugi.it for availability and conditions. The route can be wet and slippery after rain; approach shoes with grip matter. Winter approach requires avalanche assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book at least 2-3 weeks ahead for weekends, especially July-August; weekdays are more flexible. Contact the hut directly by phone or email, or use rifugi.net for availability and reservations.
The hut operates year-round, though staffing and services may be limited in winter months—confirm current conditions before planning a winter visit.
From Serina village, climb the steep mule track for roughly 2 hours to reach the Corviglia pass; alternatively, approach from the Brembana valley to the north. Both routes converge at 2,556m.
Expect bunk beds, a kitchen serving meals (book dinner ahead), and basic facilities; shower access depends on water availability at this altitude, so don't count on hot showers.
The steep 2-hour climb from Serina is challenging for young children or inexperienced hikers; it's better suited to fit hikers doing the Orobian traverse or peak ascents like Pizzo Tre Signori.
