You can reach the house easiestly from Bagni del Masino (1172m) and after 928m elevation in 2-3 hours walking on well-marked easy to follow trail or footpath. Requires suitable equipment and fitness level.

Getting There

Go 38 road from Lecco through Morbegno and turn left in Ardenno to Val Masino (San Martino). You can leave your car in the next „village” called Bagni del Masino. It is the end of this road.

From Bagni del Masino you should go on a well marked footpath. First you should cross a small rock-bridge and go on red-white-red marked track. The first part of the footpath goes along a forest. Around 1500m you will find a large grassy field with amazing view to Pizzo Badile. You can see a painted Omio title. Follow the track and you will go on more and more beautiful places. After a bivouac place you will reach a large grassy place and first time you can see Refugio Omio (2100m).
