In summer, breathtaking views even down to the sea if clean air allows. Winter, however, when snowy, leaves you breathless. A stop at the Cai refuge in the city of Forlì to enjoy a delicious cup of chocolate is almost a must!

The Burraia meadows represent one of the most important open ridge areas within the national park, an important habitat and element of landscape diversification.
The toponym "burraia" recalls the activity of butter production and milk processing, which was once carried out in the building now used as a refuge and managed by the Stia Ski Club.
The most recent CAI refuge “Città di Forlì” stands out in the center of the meadows, an important stopping point for hikers.
The meadows extend up to the top of Monte Gabrendo, whose summit was reached by a ski lift which is no longer in operation.
