Cozy hut / refuge on the top of Montagnina, which in truth would be the opposite peak to the north.
It overlooks the karst and pastureland basin of the Farno, with a beautiful view of the nearby Pizzo Formico.

Certainly a suggestive section, it rests in the transfer between the technical descent from the lightning rod and the continuation after the Malgalunga

Truly spectacular tour with a view of Lake Iseo and Endine. The stretch from the Lightning Protection Refuge towards Mount Fogarolo (about 3.5km) is rather battered with passages by hand bike.
Thanks to Paolo Amboni and his YouTube channel.

The climb is almost all asphalt and on the descent avoid the S2 path (bike by hand and tiring)

July 14, 2023,Leffe Parafulmine, Malga lunga Peia

Lightning Shelter a classic x Mtb.
The descent x Campo d'Avene, from DH is very tough.
The path for Malga Lunga immersed in the woods. Then for the return to Peia all along the mule track with beautiful views of the lakes of Iseo and Endine.

August 6, 2022,E-mtb: Mt. Farno - Rif. Parafulmine - Campo d'Avene - Malgalonga (giro ad anello da Gandino)

Fantastic ride suitable for hardtail mtb. The pastures after Mt. Farno are an oasis of peace and beauty. The tour passes by Rif. Paralightmine and Malgalonga, excellent for a stopover. Panoramic points on the Iseo and Endine lakes. ATTENTION to the section marked in the highlights, not very cyclable and dangerous (consider alternative).
