Rifugio Roberto Bignami — Local services in Comunità montana della Valtellina di Sondrio

This was our eighth stop-over on our hiking “Tour of the Benina” We arrived here earlier than expected so had to wait for our rooms to be made ready, so sat outside drinking coffee and taking it the wonderful views. The room was a little small and contained four bunk beds but was adequate for the three of us. I found the bed clean and comfortable.

There are four friendly cats (Stracciatella, Hermes, Afrodite and Spritz, in the picture, who definitely likes his aperitivo and pizzoccheri). I think this makes the place a solid contestant for the Guinness world record of the highest cat café in the...

Absolutely amazing place and loved every minute of it! ||I went there mainly for rock climbing but was blown away by the scenery and the range of landscapes from glaciers, waterfalls, lakes, snow fields, peaks, local mountain villages, amazing streams and found i should have booked another week, 4 days wasn't enough!||The staff were really friendly, the accommodation was pretty good and the food was authentic. Really impressed with it being so remote but it makes it all that much more worth it, you wont be disappointed how ever long you're there.||One of those special parts of the world because of how pristine it is, hope to go...
