Rifugio Baita Iseo

Rifugio Baita Iseo is a mountain hut (rifugio) located in the municipality of Ono San Pietro in the Province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. It sits in the Val Camonica at an elevation of 1,335 metres above sea level, on the slopes of the Concarena massif. It is described as the only mountain hut existing on the Concarena. The hut was inaugurated in 1980 following a demanding renovation of a pre-existing baita (a traditional alpine shelter or barn), carried out thanks to the work of many volunteers from the Iseo subsection of the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI). The rifugio is a destination for hikers and alpinists, who are attracted by the beauty of the dolomitic rock of the Concarena and by the green trails where it is possible to observe the phenomenon of the Camini Gelidi (cold chimneys), which support a flora typical of snow environments at around 1,300 metres above sea level. The hut is always open from mid-June to the end of September; from March to the end of the year it is open only on Saturdays and Sundays with reservation through the manager. Access to the hut is typically made from the village of Ono San Pietro, following the road that leads to Passo Campelli. After about two kilometres, at the locality of Vaialù, the route continues along a mule track where the marked itinerary begins, identified by trail marker number 98. The hut operates as a hospitality and refreshment point for visitors to the Concarena area, and its official website is rifugioiseo.it.
