The Garibaldi refuge, also known as Dreisprachenspitze, dominates the Stelvio Pass.
Dreisprachenspitze means “Peak of the three languages” to underline the meeting of three languages: Italian, German and Ladin and the boundary stones placed two meters from the refuge highlight the borders between Switzerland, Lombardy and Alto Adige.
The building has the appearance of a castle and here you can admire, in all their majestic magic and magnificence, the Ortles (3905 m.), the Bernina (4049 m.), the distant peaks of the Palla Bianca - Weißkugel (3739 m.) and Piz Buin (3312 m.) with an "exclusive" view of the long asphalt snake that leads to the Pass.

Eagle's nest above the Stelvio, quickly accessible from there on a steep path (push!). Great view. The Gold Trail begins here (note the permitted times!!) and the trail down to the Umbrail (old military road).
