Excellent, well-equipped refuge with food and drinks available. Excellent selection of alcoholic beverages and fast service. The Radler is truly excellent! I could have drunk three! The platter is truly rich and plentiful with truly delicious products, especially the cheeses!

The refuge is easy to reach even in bad weather, well-organized, and offers truly excellent food! Compliments for the venison taragna and the pumpkin, cheese, and mushroom roll. The view of Lake Fregabolgia and Lake Rotondo and the most beautiful peaks like the Diavoli and Madonnino is spectacular.

One of the best refuges in Bergamo! Once you arrive the view is spectacular, on one side the queen of the Orobie, the Presolana, and on the other side a beautiful view of the valley. The cuisine is excellent with typical mountain dishes, the staff very kind and welcoming, you feel at home!

Nice mountain refuge, sometimes crowded but the food is always good. The climb from Valbondione along the panoramic path takes about 3 hours without any technical difficulty. There is also a shorter but more challenging path

I've been there once and I think I'll go back. The walk to get there wasn't difficult, let's say that the refuge is a nice starting point for longer excursions.
