Casermette Hut on Mount Penna

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Casermette del Monte Penna refuge is located in the Aveto Regional Natural Park, about an hour away from the sea, from the motorway exits (Lavagna and Borgo Val di Taro) and from Chiavari station. Originally a logistics base for the State Forestry Corps in the 1920s, it is now known as "Rifugio Penna".
It is located in a picturesque mountainous area between Mount Penna (1,735 meters above sea level) and Mount Pennino, surrounded by a beautiful fir and beech forest.
It offers accommodation, activities such as hiking and rock climbing, and is equipped for E-MTB adventures.
