Merelli Refuge at Coca: a rugged and fascinating place in the Orobie Alps The Mario Merelli Refuge at Coca, at 1,891 meters, is one of the most iconic spots in the Coca Valley. Dedicated to the Bergamo mountaineer Mario Merelli, it retains his spirit: essential, authentic, deeply rooted in the mountains. Its location is what immediately strikes you: a natural balcony leading to the basin of the Orobie Giants, dominated by Pizzo Coca, Redorta, Scais, and Porola, a cluster of peaks that creates an imposing and almost solemn amphitheater. The ascent from Valbondione The classic access starts from Valbondione, near the village of Grumetti. The trail climbs steeply from the start, gaining altitude with regular switchbacks. It's a route that many describe as steep but safe, challenging enough to give you a sense of the mountain without ever becoming technical or exposed. Once out of the forest, the valley opens up and the dark walls of the Coca appear; The final, more challenging stretch leads to the refuge, which suddenly appears on a panoramic hill. The effort is always rewarded: those who arrive speak of its astonishing beauty and a setting that remains in their hearts. A refuge that tells a story The Merelli is a base for climbing Pizzo Coca and for crossings to the Brunone and Curò refuges, but it is also a place of memory. Inside, you can feel the legacy of Mario Merelli, and the atmosphere is that of the refuges of old: simple, welcoming, and sincere. It is a refuge that is not reached by chance: it is reached with commitment, and perhaps for this very reason, it leaves a profound impression.

Passo Portula 2273m, a panoramic pass that separates Val Brembana and Val Grabiasca (a side valley of Val Seriana), and divides Monte Madonnino and Monte Reseda.

Be careful in winter in case of heavy snow and proceed towards the Calvi Refuge only if the path is already beaten.

It's a lot of fun and easier than it looks. Just be a little more careful. :)
