ガザニーガの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

The pyramid located near the Cross serves as a shelter for food and necessities (privately owned)

A refuge with a capital R, run by the La Cordillera association. Exceptional traditional cuisine and truly fair prices, with all proceeds going to charity. The guys who work there are always willing to lend a hand and deserve all the help they can get, even if it means buying the amazing T-shirts they sell.

A small bivouac located near the Forca Pass. The interior is charming, and there's some water and food available for real emergencies. Definitely a local gem.

A good place to stop for lunch after touring the ridges of Mount Alben. It's also run by an association that raises funds for missions in South America, so besides having a bite to eat, you're doing a good deed.

The bivouac is always open, well-maintained, and stocked with emergency supplies. Excellent shelter in case of rain. Treat with respect, as with all bivouacs!

Excellent refuge nestled in the basin of the mountain of the same name

This small building is open in the summer and serves as a useful shelter in bad weather. It is located just above the Alben refuge, near the Forca Pass. The trail to reach it is easy and suitable for everyone (training permitting). Nearby destinations include the Alben refuge, the Forca Pass, the Cima Alben, and the Cima della Spada.
