    Mountain refuge at 1,580 meters above sea level at the top of the small Orsigna Valley, located on the pass of the same name once used by smugglers to avoid paying customs duties between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Papal State.

    Its strategic position right on the upper border of the beech forest allows you to quickly reach the ridge paths that lead to Monte January, Corno alle Scale and Lake Scaffaiolo.

    The refuge, equipped with a kitchen and 24 beds, offers the possibility of refreshment and overnight stay. There is also a bivouac open all year round.
