Rifugio Cavagiozzo

Barbecue at the "Alpini Gruppo di Acquate" mountain hut, Lecco section. Guests can self-cater: the volunteers who run the hut on Sunday shifts (Sunday is the only day it's open) light the braziers in the late morning, allowing guests to grill their own meals. There is no kitchen service, but cold dishes such as cold cuts and cheese platters, or mixed cold cuts and cheese platters, are available at the hut. Salami sandwiches, coppa and pancetta sandwiches, or sandwiches with Taleggio cheese or aged Valsassina cheeses are also available. Finally, guests can also order a salami sandwich, but in that case, the salami will be served raw, allowing them to grill it themselves to their desired doneness. Bar service is available for all types of drinks, including coffee. Hot dishes and ice cream are not available. The volunteer group's mission is to collect donations through food, both to support the Baita's economic well-being and to make donations to local non-profit organizations. To this end, guests are encouraged to consume beverages at the Baita's rather than bringing their own (this seems appropriate, given the Baita's social mission). The LOCATION is a strong point: just a 10-15 minute walk from the town street, along a fairly flat mountain trail, accessible to everyone (except those with limited mobility, of course). For a Sunday immersed in nature, I'd say it's the BEST!
