The Solena refuge, immersed in the beautiful Val Fraele in Alta Valtellina, is located in Cancano, near the church of Sant'Erasmo. It is the perfect starting point for exploring the surrounding trails. Among its strengths is the delicious local cuisine, accompanied by an excellent selection of craft beers. It also has wonderful views of Lake Cancano.

A beautiful restaurant overlooking the Cancano Dam. The management is truly welcoming and serves typical Valtellina dishes. The menu is also ideal for cyclists.
