Zamboni Zappa Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Stunning refuge at the foot of the eastern Monte Rosa, the only Himalayan style wall in the Alps. This refuge is easily accessible but also the starting point for other more challenging tours. It is very famous nowadays and very popular. Count on to secure a necessary place. rifugiozamboni.com

Lago delle Locce

Highlight • Lake

A small natural lake of glacial origin, not too far from the Zamboni refuge. The lake area has been subject to some landslides in recent years and the path is sometimes closed. If in doubt, inquire at the refuge.

Belvedere Glacier Moraine

Highlight • Natural Monument

Certainly suggestive passage on the sides of the Belvedere ice moraine, once crossable but no longer. This side, reachable by climbing from the ski slope paths, allows you to admire the ice and the consequences of its slow retreat.

June 11, 2026,Lago delle Locce-Rifugio Zamboni e Zappa

Beautiful route, with a well-marked trail and a nice layout, first winding through the fir and larch forest, then always well-defined, among rhododendrons and low vegetation, in the basin that rises below Monte Rosa.
