Fronza alle Coronelle refuge

Rifugio Fronza alle Coronelle is situated at 2,337 m in altitude, in the foothills of the Catinaccio, in a stunning panoramic position: stretching from Latemar to Corno Bianco and Corno Nero, from the Brenta-Cevedale Group to the Ortles and from the Vetta d’Italia to the Swiss and Austrian Alps.

It has a restaurant, bar, panoramic terrace, sun terrace and 60 beds.

The manager, Pier Paolo, and his family invite you relax and share this natural wonder. Whether experienced at sunrise or sunset: it is a sight that will touch your soul!

    Its position is fairly manageable by chairlift and an ideal starting point for via ferrata (iron rope path) excursions and hiking.

    Home-cooked food is available.

    A warm and friendly welcome.
