Nino Pernici Refuge

Access

Get to Riva del Garda (by taking the Tangenziale Sud/SS11 and going up the SS45 bis/Gardesana Occidentale from the Brescia Ovest exit on the A4 or exiting at Rovereto Sud - Lago di Garda Nord on the A22/E45 and then following the signs for Mori, Torbole and Riva del Garda) and follow the signs for Lago di Tenno / SP37. After passing through the village of Pranzo, near a hairpin bend to the right, turn left towards Campi and then up the valley of the Gamella stream following the signs for the Malga and the Grassi Refuge, near which you will find a large parking area.

Introduction

The Rifugio Nino Pernici, at the Bocca di Trat, named after the alpine soldier of the same name who died in World War I, stands close to the spectacular rocks, spires and pinnacles that range from the Mazza to the Corno di Pichèa.

Description

From the car park at Malga Grassi (1056 m), ignoring the dirt track to the left for the nearby Capanna Grassi hut, cross the meadow (signpost [402]), and, already within sight of the Pichèa rock faces, enter the wood. Continue along the path, which crosses the dirt road several times, crosses the reservoir of some stream, leaves the diversions for a water intake on the left and climbs to the Malga Dosso dei Fiori hut (1355 m). Further up, the track climbs to another water intake and, among the fir trees, rejoins the dirt track. Turning left, in a couple of minutes' walk, you are at Rifugio Bocca di Trat Nino Pernici (1600 m, 1h30').
The return is by the same route.
