Rifugio Zoia

Rifugio Zoia is located beside the hydroelectric station at Campo Moro in Valmalenco close to the Swiss border. To get there we drove Franscia left the car in the car park by the Edelweiss restaurant and managed to hitch a lift in a 4x4 of a very nice man who helps to keep the road clear. To drive up in the winter you need snow chains or 4x4.
The Rifugio is newly restored with 60 beds and panoramic windows in the restaurant. We went out to explore the two big dams nearby. In the summer these are used for high diving competitions. We were lucky enough to meet two ornithologists from the Stelvio national park who showed us a golden eagle through their telescope.
