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.

It's nice to get there on a non-electric mountain bike💪

A beautiful lake surrounded by stunning mountains. It's definitely worth the long drive from Curò to get there.

beautiful refuge reachable from Curò with little difference in altitude

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!

The Rifugio Nani Tagliaferri is one of the highest refuges in the Orobie Alps, located at 2,328 meters above sea level, on the border between Val di Scalve and Val Brembana. It is a much-loved destination for expert hikers for its panoramic position and authentic high-mountain atmosphere. 🥾 How to get there: The most popular route starts from Ronco di Schilpario, with a challenging but spectacular hike that crosses the Piana del Vò and the Cascata del Vò. The trail is well marked, but requires good physical training and adequate equipment, especially in case of residual snow or bad weather. 🏔️ What the refuge offers: A warm welcome in Alpine style Hot and genuine meals, perfect after the climb Overnight stay in dormitories for those who want to continue towards other itineraries such as the Passo del Vò or Pizzo Tornello
