Hikes and Walks

WALKING, HIKES AND CLIMBING

The natural setting around the hut offers excursions for everyone, from relaxing walks to explore lakes, whether natural or artificial, scattered through the area, to climbs to the surrounding peaks. Mountaineers will find Pizzo Becco, the highest destination, to be a fulfilling climb on an equipped route or a great climb up a rockface. Maurizio is always available to offer information to anyone on opportunities, trails and the times required.
Animal sightings are also possible, as well as discovering the characteristics of local flora or gathering minerals.
Mountain guides are also available for the most demanding visitors; we recommend that you contact the hut or the Associazione Guide Alpine (Mountain Guides Association) in advance.
