The Rifugio di Martina is the only alpine refuge on the circular route to San Primo. It gets very busy, especially on weekends! When the weather is nice, the locals use the lawns for sunbathing in front of and around the Refuge. There is a lot of hustle and bustle and the shelter service also takes longer 😊 If you prefer a quieter environment, you should choose another place for a good coffee or during the uphill week.

Rifugio Martina is an excellent place to try typical local products, from here you can climb up to Monte San Primo, the highest mountain in the Larian triangle.
