It is a refuge whose entrance door was forced open and can now only be accessed with a string. The fountain in the area is excellent. Next to the bivouac there is a path of about 2km with minimal slope which has several tables illustrating the different species of trees present in the area.

It doesn't have the comforts of a five-star hotel, but the Brignolaro Hut is ideal for spending the night if you don't want to go down the Dorsale dei Peloritani to Rimiti or Mandanici.
