Rifugio Antonio Curò

THE REFUGE  Curò (1915m.a.s.l) was the second refuge to be inaugurated by the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) of Bergamo in 1886,, after Cà Brunona.

In 1973 the surveyor Luigi Locatelli designed a second refuge that was then built next to the first; this is currently used.

1st June to 1st October: Everyday

1st October to 1st November: Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

HOW TO REACH US:

Exit the A4 motorway at Bergamo and follow signs to the Valle Seriana and then Valbondione (approx. 50Km from Bergamo). On arrival at Valbondione, pass the church and park your car either in the car park by the sports centre (Palazzetto dello Sport) or in the area known as Grumetti. From here follow the tarmac road to the start of the dirt track (CAI footpath number 305).

The track initially weaves through a beautiful pine forest, but eventually emerges at altitude to reveal lower vegetation.

The last part of the walk follows the track around a spectacular in-cut into the mountain on a cliff edge. Alternatively, once you have reached approx. 1600m.a.s.l. (about 1h 45min from the start of your walk) instead of following the dirt track, you can take a separate more challenging footpath that follows a crevice; chains are present to help your ascent.
