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.

TO EAT AND RIP WATER

A lovely refuge at the end of the Lizzola chairlift. Several trails start here, the one to Lake Spigorel is recommended. The refuge is packed in August, and it's difficult to book a lunch reservation, but you can have sandwiches made and excellent cakes to go.

Excellent, well-equipped refuge with food and drinks available. Excellent selection of alcoholic beverages and fast service. The Radler is truly excellent! I could have drunk three! The platter is truly rich and plentiful with truly delicious products, especially the cheeses!

Small refuge near the Lizzola ski lifts, highly recommended in spring when the lifts are closed and therefore there are few excursions to have the opportunity to enjoy the landscape and the tranquility that this place offers. From Lizzola you can go up from the ski slopes (when they are closed) or passing through the Passo della Manina (longer path but with less slope). Excellent cuisine, do not miss the village cake! very good.

Excellent base for ski mountaineering and downhill skiing trips

Nice mountain refuge, sometimes crowded but the food is always good. The climb from Valbondione along the panoramic path takes about 3 hours without any technical difficulty. There is also a shorter but more challenging path

Very luxurious Rifugio with nice bed and good food!
