Descrizione
This mountain hut is located at the bottom of a valley, surrounded by the highest peaks of Brembana valley and, among them, the cusp of Devil of Tenda peak is certainly the most representative. The hut is a perfect base for hiking trails and mountaineering ascents, as well as for some ski mountaineering itineraries. In this area, the ski mountaineering contest “Trofeo Parravicini” takes place.
The hut was opened in 1935 by the president of the Bergamo section of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI), Antonio Locatelli, and it was dedicated to the memory of the four Calvi brothers (Attilio, Santino, Natale and Giannino): three of them died during WWI, while Natale perished in 1920 climbing the north face of Mount Adamello. From 1982 to 1984 the hut was completely refurbished. Fratelli Calvi Hut is placed on Sentiero delle Orobie (on both Central-eastern and Central-western Orobie Trails). It is used as a base for the ascents to Diavolo di Tenda peak, Mount Grabiasca, Mount Madonnino and Mount Cabianca.
