The Casone de Fazio was built around 1925 at an altitude of about 1120 meters in an area known as Acqua Carpegna. On the right side of the hut there is a fountain with spring water: it is advisable to stock up on water here before undertaking the final climb to Pizzo San Michele. Not far from the building you can see the remains of an ancient calcara where the lime used for the construction of the buildings on the summit was cooked.

Hiking

From here, take the CAI 115 path to reach Pizzo San Michele. There is a fairly bumpy paved road that allows you to reach the place, with an open space for parking
