Rifugio Antonio Curò In Valbondione

11/06/2022 . I took a lunch break at the Antonio Curò refuge on a trek from Valbondione to Lake Barbellino, Sword in the Rock. Good view, friendliness and local, well-prepared food. The Antonio Curò refuge located in the pleasant and sunny basin of the Barbellino Basin is located in front of the magnificent crests of Recastello and Pizzo Coca, while in the background the double peak of Monte Torena closes the wide panorama. The refuge is located in the heart of the Bergamo Orobie park, the area of ​​artificial and natural lakes and the numerous peaks that surround it (20 peaks over 2700 m). Certainly one of the most frequented by hikers from Bergamo, this deserves to be traveled far and wide as it presents itself as a fundamental junction on the Orobie path, here you can choose whether to end at the ref. Tagliaferri or at the ref. Albani.

Beautiful place, climbed solo in January from the most difficult route (305A) above all not due to the slope or the always sheer exposure of the wall but due to the snow and small avalanches on the route, in any case excellent experience and beautiful landscape

There's little to say. Practically perfect. Excellent place, friendly and always helpful staff and truly excellent food. 5 well deserved stars. I highly recommend.

Quite expensive but you pay for quality... and here the strong point is precisely that. Excellent dishes, excellent variety and proposals that always live up to expectations. I would define it as an obligatory stop, the only sore point is the chaos...unfortunately there is always a lot of mess and confusion on the weekends, quite paradoxical if you think of being in a mountain refuge, it loses a bit of the "poetry" but it is a my personal opinion. However, it deserves to be defined as one of the refuges where you can eat best in the area (along with the one in Alpe Corte). HI!

Magnificent refuge fantastic location excellent management by fantastic people

Overall, a good refuge, lacking a bit in portions, not in line with a clientele of hungry mountaineers.

A certainty! Always the best rest in the Orobie area, managed in the best way... Excellent dishes and a beautifully kept place. Well done

Uno dei rifugi più attrezzati e meglio organizzati di tutte le Orobie. Punto di partenza ideale per diverse escursioni.

Che dire? Dopo ore di cammino un posto proprio carino. Buon cibo, torte spettacolari. Da tornare.

Il rifugio si trova in una posizione spettacolare raggiungibile dopo una camminata che noi abbiamo percorso in 3 ore, non particolarmente faticosa ma in costante salita. Cucina buona, prezzi nella norma, servizio ottimo e veloce. Consiglio di prenotare anche se il rifugio ha molti posti a sedere fuori e dentro.
