The Maria e Franco refuge is located at 2,574 meters at the Dernal pass and is the ideal refuge for those in search of tranquility and silence. The refuge is inserted in an intact natural environment where it is possible to meet various wild animals.
From here a wonderful panorama opens up, you can see the peaks of Adamello, Carè Alto, Tredemus, Re di Castello, Val di Dois and your gaze can almost make out Lake Iseo.

Very simple mountain hut. For what feels like 100 years, nothing has changed in the furnishings and equipment. reception, bar, kitchen, dining room; all in one room.
