Rifugio Riella is located at about 1,275 meters above sea level on the western side of Monte Palanzone, in the municipality of Faggeto Lario, in the province of Como. Built in 1908 by the Pizzo Badile Club and dedicated to Angelo Riella, the refuge was renovated in 2008. Managed by Marco Brenna, it offers 25 beds and a dining area with 60 seats inside and another 30 seats outside. It is equipped with services such as hot water, heating and a rock gym for sport climbing. The refuge is open all year round, with variable hours: during the months of July and August it is open every day, while during the rest of the year it is available on weekends and Wednesdays. It is advisable to check the opening hours and book in advance, especially during periods of high attendance. To reach Rifugio Riella, you can start from Colma di Sormano, a pass located at 1,124 meters above sea level, and follow a well-marked path that leads to the refuge in about 1 hour and 30 minutes, with a difference in altitude of 300 meters. Once there, visitors can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Lake Como and the Lombard Prealps, making Rifugio Riella an ideal destination for excursions and outdoor activities, but also for moments of relaxation immersed in nature.

Capanna Mara is a refuge located on the slopes of Mount Bollettone, one of the most famous peaks of the Larian Triangle, in the province of Como. It is located at about 1,300 meters above sea level and is an ideal destination for hikers who want to explore the area, enjoying breathtaking views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. Capanna Mara can be reached via various paths that start from Pian del Tivano, Asso and Caglio, and is a perfect place to stop during excursions to the summit of Bollettone. The path to the refuge is of medium difficulty and winds through woods, clearings and panoramic stretches that offer beautiful views of the valley and the lake. Once you arrive, the refuge offers a warm and hospitable welcome, with typical local dishes, such as polenta and cheeses, ideal for restoring after a day of trekking. Furthermore, the position of Capanna Mara makes it an excellent starting point for longer hikes, leading to Monte Bollettone or Monte Palanzone, both panoramic peaks that offer spectacular views. Capanna Mara is open mainly during the summer season, but it is also a reference point for hikers who want to enjoy the natural beauty of the Larian Triangle.
