It's an old mountain hut renovated by the Bormio section of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) to serve as a shelter for mountaineers, ski mountaineers, and hikers. The refuge, dedicated to Federico Valgoi, a young mountaineer from Bormio who lost his life while climbing in 2002, is the catalyst for the revival of mountaineering in the Val Viola and Val Dosdè.

Excellent point for a refreshment during the excursion, very kind family environment and tasty dishes at still reasonable prices

Cofermo is without a doubt the refuge with the lowest prices in the area and maintains an exquisite home cooking. The staff is always courteous and kind.
