The Rifugio Fiorasca is a self-catering mountain hut set amidst a stunning alpine landscape, managed by the SAV (Società Alpinistica Vallmaggese).

Situated at an altitude of 2,086 meters in the Valle di Larechia, a picturesque side valley of the renowned Bavona Valley, the hut is accessible in about five hours from Fontana in the Bavona Valley or in around three hours from Alpe Brunescio in the Val Lavizzara. The Rifugio Fiorasca comprises five small huts, each with a unique function. One hut houses the kitchen, equipped with cooking facilities and stocked with basic provisions. Another serves as a dormitory with ten beds, with blankets provided. The third hut contains toilets and showers. The fourth hut is used as a museum, showcasing tools from times past. The fifth hut is temporarily rented out to families or small groups.
