Rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi at Lake Scaffaiolo

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Managing a refuge in the Apennines may seem simple, but it is not. In this story we come into contact with the managers of the Duca degli Abruzzi Refuge in an "ordinary" winter weekend: appennino.netlify.app/vita-da-rifugio

From the Doganaccia lifts, easy trek to Lake Scaffaiolo for CAI 66, lunch at the Duca degli Abruzzi refuge and return to a higher path under Monte Cupolino and then return to the forestry system.

Ps the "hole" that you see in the track with unbalanced altimetry is related to the break in the refuge

Beautiful walk suitable for everyone on the ridge that marks the border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. Nice to do even in mtb.
