About
Rifugio Pesciöla sits at 2004m in the Bergamo Alps, in the upper Val di Scalve in Lombardy. Access is from the village of Schilpario: follow the hiking trail south-west for approximately 2 hours. The hut perches above the Pesciöla Lake and offers a quiet base for ridge walking and scrambling in the surrounding mountains. Winter access is possible but depends on snow conditions.
The rifugio is managed by CAI Ponte in Valtellina and has 20 beds across multiple rooms. Half board is available year-round, with a simple kitchen for those bringing their own supplies. The hut runs a small bar. Water comes from the mountain spring. There are no showers. The building is well-maintained and sheltered, though expect basic alpine accommodation. The hut typically stays open May through October, with weekend service in shoulder months.
Book directly by email or phone. July and August require advance reservations—contact the hut at least 4 weeks ahead. May, June, September and October are less crowded but confirm opening dates before travelling. Winter visits are possible; ring ahead to check current conditions and staffing. The hut serves day visitors, though overnight capacity is limited to 20.
