Rifugio Mello is located in the beautiful Val di Mello, one of the most well-known and appreciated valleys of Valtellina, famous for its breathtaking landscapes, imposing mountains and its crystalline lakes. The refuge is located at about 1,350 meters above sea level and is a point of reference for hikers who visit the area.

Rifugio Mello is easily accessible thanks to the paths that start from the village of San Martino, in the heart of Val di Mello. The route to reach the refuge is suitable for hikers of all levels, with a walk that lasts about 1.5-2 hours, crossing larch and fir forests, offering spectacular panoramic views of the valley and the surrounding mountains.

Once arrived, the refuge offers a welcoming rest area, where hikers can refresh themselves with typical Valtellina dishes, such as pizzoccheri, sciatt and local cheeses, but also enjoy an incredible view of Val di Mello and the peaks that surround it, including Monte Disgrazia.

Rifugio Mello is also a starting point for numerous hikes, including those leading to Laghetto del Qualido or Cascata della Val di Mello, as well as an ideal place for a quiet stop during a longer hike. It is recommended in all seasons, but especially in spring and autumn, when the landscape is particularly fascinating thanks to the colors of nature.
