손드리오‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산장 & 오두막집

beautiful and very hospitable refuge located in a magnificent location

The refuge is a convenient base for the ascent and return from Pizzo Scalino. Personally, I don't like the refuge's management.

Rifugio Mello is located in the beautiful Val di Mello, one of the most well-known and appreciated valleys of Valtellina, famous for its breathtaking landscapes, imposing mountains and its crystalline lakes. The refuge is located at about 1,350 meters above sea level and is a point of reference for hikers who visit the area. Rifugio Mello is easily accessible thanks to the paths that start from the village of San Martino, in the heart of Val di Mello. The route to reach the refuge is suitable for hikers of all levels, with a walk that lasts about 1.5-2 hours, crossing larch and fir forests, offering spectacular panoramic views of the valley and the surrounding mountains. Once arrived, the refuge offers a welcoming rest area, where hikers can refresh themselves with typical Valtellina dishes, such as pizzoccheri, sciatt and local cheeses, but also enjoy an incredible view of Val di Mello and the peaks that surround it, including Monte Disgrazia. Rifugio Mello is also a starting point for numerous hikes, including those leading to Laghetto del Qualido or Cascata della Val di Mello, as well as an ideal place for a quiet stop during a longer hike. It is recommended in all seasons, but especially in spring and autumn, when the landscape is particularly fascinating thanks to the colors of nature.

Alpe Lì Mina is located near the picturesque village of Tresenda, in the valley of the river of the same name. This mountain corner offers breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and a peaceful view of the valley. The alp is a perfect place for those looking for an excursion immersed in nature, away from the crowds, with paths that wind through woods and pastures. The location, in contact with mountain tradition, is ideal for enjoying the beauty of the valley and the tranquility of the area. The area is also famous for its mountain huts, where you can taste the typical cuisine of the Alpine valleys.

Reserve with paid car access (ticket to be purchased in San Martino)

Small refuge where you can taste typical dishes of Valtellina cuisine

The view from the refuge is excellent and the path to reach it is quite simple without particularly technical points.

Strategic point to split the route to the glacier in two, too bad they don't accept dogs for overnight stays (so we stayed at the Zoia and went up to the glacier during the day)
