The Franco Tonolini Refuge is located in the magnificent Conca del Baitone, in the Adamello Park, near Lake Rotondo. Surrounded by eight stupendous alpine lakes, it is in an ideal position for excellent excursions and ascents, such as the beautiful Cima Plem or the Corno del Baitone.

Valmalga Gnutti Refuge, Cristallo Pass, Tonolini Refuge.
You can park comfortably at Malga Premassone from there the legendary stairs of the Miller begin which rise like an elevator to take you to the Gnutti refuge facebook.com/RifugioGnutti in this beautiful and green suspended valley, the refuge is next to the lake artificial that one always of the beautiful colors on the green. Here, after a couple of hours of walking, you need a good coffee and a slice of cake. We leave the path forks and on one side we go to the Passo del Gatto towards the Baitone refuge (see previous post), while we skirt the lake almost to the bottom where a large stone man tells you to go up from there.
the path climbs in this very green uphill prairie. The path has suffered damage from recent rains, and luckily today it is at least dry, I hear behind it
me a not too soft rumbling 😉❤️, but we go up, we go up and after two and a half hours we arrive at the #passodelcristallo. and here at 2890 you are rewarded for all the effort made, goal achieved and spectacular views.
A sandwich to give us some energy back and we look down on the other side, as from the balcony, we had already done it but the memory had faded and we were told that there is a small piece of chain but nothing special .... (it says the
sin but not the sinner) in reality the descent with two sections of rather challenging chains for those not used to climbing and similar things put us to the test but a bit of adrenaline did its job and we arrived under. A #ganda begins where you can have fun jumping from stone to stone, if you still have some ...
and after a couple of hours from the Pass you arrive at the splendid Tonolini refuge facebook.com/628962053857719. A refuge set in a beautiful place in the middle of the crests amphitheater of the Baitone and on the shores of a beautiful alpine lake overlooking the valley.
We go down because it is already half past five, we arrive at the car at 7.30. the path to descend is very regular but it seems to me very damaged by the torrential rains of recent years, it would need a substantial system to make it accessible to all.

16 km, 1,200 meters in altitude, 8h30 'of walking, 11h ~ excursion duration.
