The Rifugio Giuseppe Garibaldi (often just Rifugio Garibaldi ) is a refuge in the Italian region of Lombardy in the Adamello-Presanella Alps . It is located at an altitude of 2550 m slm within the community Edolo and belongs to the CAI - Section Brescia . The hut is open from mid-June to mid-September and offers beds for 98 mountaineers. 6 beds are available in the winter room.
location
The hut is located in the upper Val d'Avio, which at Temù turns from Valcamonica in a south-easterly direction and is characterized by several reservoirs lying one behind the other. The Rifugio Garibaldi is located on the northwestern shore of Lake Venerocolo, which was dammed in the 1950s, in the Conca Venerocolo of the same name. It is one of the classic starting points for climbing the Adamello 3554 m slm , whose mighty north face rises south of the hut.
The Adamello high trail no.1 leads past the refuge .
history
The current hut was inaugurated in 1959, after which the previous building, built in 1894, disappeared in the floods of the reservoir. This first refuge, built at the end of the 19th century, was part of the nationalistic hut race in the Alps at the time , such as the Tuckett or Viozhütte , and the direct Italian answer to the Mandronehütte built by the DÖAV . It was after the Italian national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi named to to the in on July 4, 1866 Vezza d'Oglio took place battle between the volunteer corps to remember Garibaldi and the Austrians.
During the First World War , an Italian field hospital was housed in the hut. At that time, a barrack town of the Italian army was built around the Rifugio, which was the most important logistical center of the Italian Adamellofront. A small memorial chapel, which is only a few minutes' walk away from the Rifugio, reminds of this today. The remains of these war structures, like the old refuge that was operated until 1958, have now disappeared in the reservoir. As a replacement, the operator of the Enel reservoir had today's rifugio built.
