FINONCHIO "F.LLI FILZI"

Take a box, put a half-cylinder on top and you have the Rifugio Finonchio Fratelli Filzi, a very unusual building dedicated to the memory of the Filzi brothers, built on the summit by mountaineers from Rovereto in 1930 and completely rebuilt in 1957 after Second World War damage. Lying amid Finonchio’s vast, peaceful meadows, it’s easy to get to for both young and old and the views are stunning. The refuge was refurbished in summer 2014, once again (as almost ninety years ago) with support from members of the Rovereto branch of SAT (Association of Trentino Mountaineers).

Open:
SUMMER: from 20 June to 20 September
WINTER: After 20 September, every weekend until Christmas.
Every day from 27 December to 8 January.
From January to June open on weekends
Before leaving for your hike, always contact the manager to verify the actual opening of the mountain hut

Walks
If you organise the means for your return journey, it’s a simple matter to do the entire traverse of Monte Finonchio: walk up to the refuge from Guardia di Folgaria or Serrada, then descend the side of the mountain that slopes down to the Vallagarina to the village of Moietto (1 ¼ hours, difficulty E).
