Tips from the Community

Gruppo Amici Montagna
January 4, 2026, Rifugio Eli Longoni

Located at 2,450 m above sea level, on a spectacular natural balcony overlooking the upper Valmalenco, with a direct view of Monte Disgrazia, the Italian-Swiss ridge, and many high peaks of the Rhaetian Alps. Reaching the refuge is a hike of medium difficulty: from the village of Chiareggio, it takes about 2.5 hours to climb (850 m of elevation gain), while from San Giuseppe it is slightly longer but with gentler gradients. The trail is well marked and offers increasingly expansive views as you ascend. Excellent cuisine featuring typical Valtellina dishes.

Lake Pirola is a picturesque artificial lake accessible from the Gerli-Porro Refuge along a trail that crosses scree slopes and stretches where the trail merges with the rocks (markings are present but not always visible; be careful). The lake is surrounded by Alpine scenery and can be skirted along a scenic trail.

Beautiful route of about 600 meters of positive difference in altitude between the 1950 meters of the Piana di Preda Rossa up to the 2560 meters of the Rifugio Cesare Ponti. The high mountain environment is enriched by the beauty of the Preda Rossa valley, by its milky and slow torrent, by the frame of the Corni Bruciati, up to the majestic mass of the Disgrazia, which dominates and watches over the path. An enchanting place!

Legendary refuge at the foot of Mount Disgrazia. It is located along the Roma trail and is a passage point of the Kima Trophy. In short, an exceptional place for mountain lovers.

Looking out over the Piana di Preda Rossa for the first time is an experience you never forget: a place that goes beyond normal daily experience and therefore enchants and requires time to be understood. The overhanging mass of Monte Disgrazia makes the scene simply perfect.

An epic break during the long normal route of Disgrazia. It is here that you emerge onto the ridge profile and can admire the spectacle of the north face and the view of Valmalenco, up to the Bernina. Unforgettable
