    Excellent, well-equipped refuge for both a day's stay and an overnight stay. Ample outdoor space with tables for dining. The 360° view is spectacular, both over the Bergamo Orobie and the Valtellina Alps.
    Starting from the road leading to Piani dell'Avaro, there are two possible trails: the traditional 108, which, however, involves a very steep gully (not recommended for dogs), or the 108A, the longer (but also much more scenic) variant, which does not involve any steep sections.

      The Cesare Benigni refuge is located on a small rocky plateau, near Lake Piazzotti and along the Crest of the Rocca di Pescegallo. The view of the Orobie is beautiful.

        An excellent refuge with a large open space where you can rest, thanks to the many outdoor tables.
        Semi-self-service kitchen open from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.
        The buckwheat cake with jam is truly excellent, recommended for everyone.
        You can self-stamp your refuge and get a tour guide inside the refuge.
        From here, you can climb to Cima Piazzotti for a stunning view of the Val d'Inferno, and the area is home to a few ibex.
        You can also stay overnight and perhaps head towards Pizzo dei 3 Signori or Rifugio Grassi.
