Where Movement Meets Community

Rifugio is your active basecamp—a gathering place for cyclists, runners, hikers, and adventurers of all kinds.

Our Locations

At Rifugio, we create spaces that bring outdoor communities together through movement, exploration, and shared experience. With purpose-built hubs in two of New England’s most inspiring trail systems—the rolling countryside of Connecticut’s Litchfield Hills and the legendary singletrack of Vermont’s Kingdom Trails—we offer more than just bike shops or event spaces. We’re here to support your next ride, run, ramble, or gathering—whether you’re a seasoned shredder, curious first-timer, or weekend wanderer.
