The birth of Andolla mountain hut is tied to Edison electric company that, whit the purpose of taking advantage of the hydroelectric power of Valle Antrona, built the basins of Campliccioli, Antrona, Camposecco, Cingino and Cavalli.
While building the dam on Cavalli lake, Edison decided to build a mountain hut on the pastures of Andolla, to be used as holiday location for its employees, and it was inaugurated in 1925. Later, the building was given to Villadossola CAI and, after the war, they restored the mountain hut and renamed it “Andolla”, with 17 beds. In 1986, after some extension works, the new mountain hut was inaugurated and it can now host 59 persons. The Andolla mountain hut is a pivotal point for many traverses and climbs, for exaple Camasco Alp and Campalamana Alp.
