The path starts from Barzio (province of Lecco), at the cableway parking area ; there is a sign which indicates wether the Buzzoni refuge is opened or not . Just follow the marks of the trail n° 19, there are a lot of sign leading to the refuge.
During the path, you'll find:
- A farm holidays
- A few springs, this source is not potable , while this other should be drinkable, but we found it dried
- Some torrents (there's no much water in summer)
- Flowers and butterflies
- An impressive wood
- The cross with the path rising from Introbio town
As we went out of the wood, we reached the refuge . We really enjoied this path: the trail is all in the cool of the forest, so it's no hot even in summer. The whole path length is 6 km, with a difference in altitude of about 750 meters uphill
