The Castelletto Refuge is a faithful reconstruction of a former barracks from the First World War, located in Castelberto in the municipality of Erbezzo at 1765 meters above sea level; it is the terminal point, to the north, of the Monti Lessini plateau, a regional natural park, in which it is inserted. In the immediate surroundings there are still remains of ancient trenches dating back to the Great War.
The panorama from the refuge is stupendous: the view extends from the Val d'Adige and the underlying Val dei Ronchi, to the nearby peaks of Pasubio and Carega.
All of Lessinia is visible, Valpolicella and Lake Garda towards Sirmione. To the west, the typical setting of Monte Baldo, the Altissimo, the less nearby peaks of the Adamello, with the Carè Alto and the Presanella. To the north, the unmistakable silhouettes of the Brenta, Bondone and Paganella Dolomites.
