Top 20 Huts and Cabins around Lostallo

Beautiful cabin

The Capanna Brogoldone is an alpine pasture with two main huts. One hut can accommodate up to 59 people. The other hut houses a small restaurant. Amazing views from up there!

my first bivouac, i'm gonna remember it for sure

The Capanna Brogoldone was once a mountain pasture and is today the result of a desire to preserve the remains of a bygone era. From 1995 to 1998, a group of volunteers set to work renovating the two existing buildings while maintaining the typical structure of the pasture: the former stable became a dormitory, and the building that once served as a cheese dairy and shelter for the mountain herders was converted into a kitchen and dining room.

I went up during the day and met some guys along the final ramp who had spent the night there and were returning to the valley. They told me that some of them had gone up the previous evening in the dark and without a flashlight in gym shoes (with snow from 1900 m) and had not identified the signs indicating the direction of the last traverse to the left and continued towards the walls above behind the bivouac. Only the luck that there were other people inside the bivouac with lights on allowed them to identify the shelter for the night and avoid calling for help... Let's hope it served as a lesson not to go around at night, poorly equipped and without a flashlight. In any case, when I arrived at the bivouac I discovered with regret that 2 bags full of waste (including organic waste) had been abandoned and the beds left in disarray with blankets and pillows in bulk. Perhaps the geniuses thought that since it is a freely accessible structure they could mistreat it. I won't say anything else...

On a panoramic terrace overlooking the Lumino valley, stands the Brogldone hut. Excellent for a break to fill up on energy!

The Zeb bivouac is a wonderful recently built bivouac, located on the Alta Via of the Larian mountains but also reachable from the Dosso Valley. The bivouac is always open, but don't be scared if you can't open the door, the handle must be raised and not lowered! Next to the bivouac there is a fountain with delicious flowing water, inside the bivouac there are many stoves but remember to bring a spare canister, also an offer for those who keep the paths accessible and the structure is certainly welcome, Inside there is a box where you can leave your offering.

The hut belongs to the Associazione Sentieri Alpini Calanca ASAC. It is located below the tree line, which results in a special atmosphere. It is staffed in the summer. The hut wardens stay up there for two weeks at a time and work largely on a voluntary basis.
