Rifugio Val di Fumo

Rifugio Val di Fumo - Description

Directions

• Start

  Car park at Diga di Malga Bissina dam (1800 m/5904 ft)
  
  From the car park (1800 m), go down to the first hairpin bend on the access lane and, turning left (SAT trail No. 240), leave the lane to continue on a path that allows to cut out a section of the route.
  You come to the road below, leading to Malga Breguzzo from the dam manoeuvering area.
  Cover to the end this long stretch, set against the large Malga Bissina lake.
  The road is pretty flat up to the end of the lake, with only a slight climb just before Malga Breguzzo.
  The trailmark is SAT No. 240.
  After reaching Malga Breguzzo (1826 m), you can choose to go to Rifugio Val di Fumo by following the path on the left or, alternatively, choose the one on the right.
  Both paths run along the river Chiese (on its left and right bank) and alternate ups and downs, as well as flat stretches, until they reach the base of the mountain hut. One last climb now separates you from Rifugio Val di Fumo (1887 m), already visible halfway along the route.
  Return is back along the uphill route or along the path not covered in the morning, thus making up a nice round trip.

Tips for the tour

To make less boring the dirt road stretch along Malga Bissina’s lake (approx. 3.5 km), we advise you to cover it by bicycle and then leave the bicycle at Malga Breguzzo, where you can place it under the shelter in front of the hut. A rather long route, but suitable for families because of the low gradient. Beware of the sun during the hottest hours of the day. A push-chair may be used from the car park to Malga Breguzzo; the following stretch, however, is rather impracticable. The path on the left is most used by hikers.
