Spectacular refuge in a wonderful place. In winter it is fantastic! Very popular, always being on the ring road by how many people are climbing. Steep climb, the famous wailing wall, it just takes a bit of training and perseverance. The refuge is welcoming, managed by very welcoming and kind guys. Sunset and sunrise are wonderful.

The most iconic refuge in the Lecco area (together perhaps with the Azzoni on the Resegone) reachable by following dozens of itineraries, in all seasons, choosing between various degrees of technical difficulty or training even if the difference in altitude is never small.
