Starting point:
Val di Mello parking area, that you reach in 30 minutes walking from San Martino Val Masino, or by shuttle for payment (that you take in San Martino, near the information point)
Trail description:
Walking along the Val di Mello until almost the end. Follow the sign on the left. Along a steep trail in the forest you reach the first flatland. Walk to the flatland and then climb the trail on the right. Through this beautiful path you’ll reach the rifugio.
Descent:
Along the same trail, although many alternatives are possible by connecting other trails.
Connected trail:
The hike is very long, so I recommended, to those who want to descend into the valley the same day, just to visit the refuge surroundings.
