June 19, 2025,Rifugio Benigni

Excursion born quickly, because I couldn't leave too early and taking into account that in June the sun literally cooks you at certain times, I had to look for something not too long, with an acceptable difference in altitude and at an altitude that guaranteed a slightly cool climate. The Benigni refuge corresponds to all these requirements and always strikes …

Unmissable exit to the Benigni refuge, and its gully 😅..a bit too crowded despite being Saturday, in fact I did not cross any chamois, I conclude with a suggestion: alternative to the gully and the via dei vitelli..on the left side of path 108.

June 1, 2023,Rifugio Benigni 4 stagioni. Nuvole basse, temporale, grandine e sole.

The Benigni Refuge, owned by the CAI Alta Valle Brembana Section, is located (at an altitude of 2222 m) at the head of the Salmurano Valley, a short distance from Lake Piazzotti. With a pleasant appearance and small dimensions, it is recognizable at first glance. The plateau on which the Benigni Refuge is located is an extraordinary natural balcony over …

August 21, 2024,Rif. Benigni - Cima Piazzotti

Beautiful trip in Val Brembana from Cusio to Rifugio Benigni and then to the Piazzotti peak (2450 m). To get to the refuge you pass through a legendary mountaineering "channel" of a certain difficulty. In my opinion the most challenging part is the one that after the channel leads to the refuge. The Piazzotti peak is easy to reach and …

I return to Benigni after about 20 years. I didn't remember the path being so long.
I didn't remember the gully being so steep.
I didn't remember so much climbing after the gully.
I didn't remember so much beauty🤩

A classic of Orobic hiking, but at the same time one of my favorites. The Cesare Benigni refuge is one of the most beautiful in the province, even if it is actually on the border and we share it with friends from Sondrio. The natural terrace on which it stands and the surrounding panorama are wonderful. Its silhouette is unmistakable, …
