Rifugio P. Marchetti allo Stivo In Arco

Enchanting refuge at 2000 meters

Great panorama, the hut was not open

I went up to the Stivo refuge for a day trek. The route was very beautiful and a little tiring, but nothing excessive, about 2 hours of walking starting from the Passo di Santa Barbara. Along the path the view that opens up on Riva del Garda and Vallagarina is incredible. Once you get to the top, the view is even more spectacular: from there you can see Lake Garda, the Brenta Dolomites and other peaks of Trentino. At the refuge, just below the cross (the summit), I drank a very good beer. The staff was very welcoming, and I found the refuge a perfect place to relax before continuing the descent. Definitely an experience to repeat, both for the breathtaking view and for the peaceful atmosphere of the refuge.

A refuge that welcomes you in a warm and family atmosphere, the young people who run it are super friendly and the dishes they offer are excellent. It is wonderful to experience these realities managed by young people who are passionate about the mountains and respectful of the nature that hosts us. Thank you
