Capanna Damiano Marinelli

The place

Sleeping spots: 10 Spots on mattress: 10 Single-story masonry building. -runoff or snow water -mattresses + blankets -table, stools -decent insulation but a lot of dampness (it faces NE and is often in shade), the mattresses and blankets show it...if it's nice and warm and early, please put the blankets out in the sun! -dishware + a gas stove It's rare to come up just "to take a look" (it happens...), most guests heading off for the big routes on Mt Rosa (heavy exposure to objective hazards). The situation has completely changed with the retreat of the Belvédère glacier. It's no longer possible to cross the glacier safely near [->2594]. To reach the Damiano Marinelli refuge-bivouac (Capanna) from Macugnaga, follow the signs leading directly to the glacier's right bank, without having to cross it. CAI, Milan section
