Rifugio del Fargno In Ussita

If it were possible to reach it with a shuttle I would go more often

Simply wonderful place. I returned after several years because I really wanted to see the majesty of those mountains again. The good food and the typical welcome of a refuge I gave 5 stars for this. The only thing I complain about, but that cannot be blamed on the managers of the refuge are the terrible conditions of the road that should be closed downstream. Indeed I urge the managers to become spokespersons of a need that I do not think is far-fetched. Thank you.

If I could have given half a star less I would have done so, but not for anything related to the structure itself, but more because the road is actually passable so you lose a bit of that perception of "exclusivity" linked to the effort of having reached a place, let's say struggling, but the sunset repays 100% Unfortunately in our case, despite the dinner, the ownership, the company at dinner, the cleanliness of the structure itself were all absolutely more than satisfactory, the usual group of indifferent people or "Sunday mountaineers" could not be missing. Although they were accompanied by a guide, who left, if not enriched, to do as they pleased, they decided that when they woke up they had to wake up the whole dormitory with torches in their faces, laughter, etc. etc. at 3:30, causing panic for more than an hour. Let me be clear, I'm not making it a question of time, if you have to leave at 1, 2, 3, it's all fine, but get ready the night before so you avoid waking up those who have different schedules than yours.. Although we (a small group of three) also wanted to see the sunrise, we took care not to create the same frenzy and in a couple of minutes we went out to see it from the hill above the refuge... beautiful and I recommend it!! In short, apart from this incident that for those who usually sleep in refuges know well that it can happen often, it was a good support that I will take into consideration again, certainly for dinner!!

Reachable by car (with care), motorbike and bicycle it is fantastic for the location. It offers simple and discreet meals (cold cuts, cheeses, polenta and pasta, excellent cakes). It has beds in separate compartments and a single (discreet) bathroom, without particular demands, but functional. Ideal starting point for excursions at high altitude, it is essential to be able to reach it by car, the ascent on foot from the valley is too long and becomes demanding if you also want to aim for the nearby peaks, which are however within reach if you get to the refuge by car or motorbike.
