The Carlo Porta refuge is a historic building commissioned by Cai Milano in 1911 and retains all the charm and beauty of the early century structures.
In a strategic position for ascents in Grignetta and for the best known climbing walls, the Refuge welcomes its guests all year round.
Ideal for a family lunch, for a different evening than usual (how nice to sleep in the Refuge!) Or for a good thirst-quenching beer after the climb to Grignetta, the Porta Refuge remains easy to access starting from Pian dei Resinelli.
With the new management of 2019, many activities and events are offered during all seasons.
RIFUGIO CARLO PORTA, the Grignetta Refuge at Pian dei Resinelli.

Grigna Meridionale — Summit and Bivouac

Highlight • Summit

The Southern Grigna (but known to most as Grignetta) with its 2,184 meters above sea level is one of the main mountains in Lecco.

Together with Grignone (Grigna Settentrionale) it constitutes the Grigne group, which divides Lake Como from Valsassina, in the province of Lecco.

These mountains are characterized by a multitude of environments, from meadows to rocky walls. It is no coincidence that the famous mountaineer Riccardo Cassin said that "the Grigna is not a peak but a world". The Grigne are therefore crossed by itineraries of varying difficulty: from simple trekking to challenging mountaineering routes.

Ferrario Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Bivouac on top of the Grignetta. It has an octagonal shape, with an aluminum exterior and wood and cork interior. About three and a half meters in diameter, it is nicknamed "igloo" or "spaceship". Fabulous sunset with the view of Lake Como and the lights of the plain
