More than a refuge, it's now a bar/restaurant/hotel. The cakes are very good, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

An excellent refuge with a large open space where you can rest, thanks to the many outdoor tables. Semi-self-service kitchen open from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. The buckwheat cake with jam is truly excellent, recommended for everyone. You can self-stamp your refuge and get a tour guide inside the refuge. From here, you can climb to Cima Piazzotti for a stunning view of the Val d'Inferno, and the area is home to a few ibex. You can also stay overnight and perhaps head towards Pizzo dei 3 Signori or Rifugio Grassi.

Excellent, well-equipped refuge for both a day's stay and an overnight stay. Ample outdoor space with tables for dining. The 360° view is spectacular, both over the Bergamo Orobie and the Valtellina Alps. Starting from the road leading to Piani dell'Avaro, there are two possible trails: the traditional 108, which, however, involves a very steep gully (not recommended for dogs), or the 108A, the longer (but also much more scenic) variant, which does not involve any steep sections.

A stopover and refreshment point before climbing to Lago Moro or Corno Stella. The self-service kitchen is excellent, with cakes that are out of this world. The terrace offers a breathtaking view.
