Ottimo pranzo, personale estremamente gentile. Consigliato!

Rifugio situato sulla strada che conduce al passo Gavia. Accoglienza estremamente cordiale, cibo fatto in casa squisito. Siamo stati davvero bene. Prezzi al di sotto della media della zona. Di fronte al rifugio partono diverse escursioni con panorami mozzafiato. Grazie!

Rifugio sulla strada del Passo Gavia a 2560mt di altitudine, davanti quello che resta del ghiacciaio della Sforzellina. Un posto bellissimo per gli amanti della montagna da cui partono delle bellissime passeggiate. Io ho assaggiato solo le torte fatte in casa tutte buonissime, ma ho visto passare dei piatti di pizzoccheri che devono essere buonissimi. Molto gentili le persone che lo gestiscono è sempre un piacere tornare.

We went to the refuge yesterday after climbing Gavia for the first time. Excellent location, service, food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. We'll be back next time.

Always worth a stop when driving over the Gavia Pass. Fantastic cappuccino, espresso, and just recently had homemade tagliatelle con Bolognese. Absolutely delicious 😋 Plus: the friendly, lovely people who serve you are absolutely worth stopping for.

We stayed at the Berni refuge after being turned away by the Bonetta refuge because we had a dog (it was impossible to eat outside due to the freezing weather), and... it was a delightful discovery. At the Berni refuge, we received a wonderful welcome and ate deliciously: when we return to the Gavia Pass, we'll definitely stay there!

You can take the Gavia Pass as part of a simple "passage" or you can stop and slow down. A rifugio, NOT a hotel, but a place that you can really enjoy...for more than just an espresso. No matter whether you're hiking, cycling or motorcycling... it's worth staying overnight. Since it is not a hotel, the acceptance of a simple overnight stay is required. No single or double rooms available, but depending on occupancy you get an entire room to yourself. There is a shared washroom and three toilets. The very friendly owners have looked after the refuge seasonally for generations, and the pass is closed to vehicles in winter. If you stay, you can choose half board (excellent regional food, well cooked!), a hearty breakfast, very good coffee. The deceleration begins when the evening falls...almost no one (apart from other guests) gets lost in the simple and cozy restaurant...you look out at the mountains, take in the peace and quiet of the entire surroundings...simply wonderful. I wish everyone the opportunity to stop there and then take a walk in the alpine surroundings early in the morning, well before breakfast. thank you dear Berni team!

We arrived with Luca at almost 2:00 PM. I ordered pizzoccheri and a berry tart, and he ordered strudel. Very kind, they offered us two jugs of water to fill our water bottles too, quick and efficient service. Pizzoccheri were amazing, the tart was delicious, and the strudel was absolutely beautiful, and Luca confirmed its deliciousness. I didn't have time to take a photo of the tart...😅. We'll definitely be back. Payment by card is super easy...so you don't have to carry around loose change, which weighs a lot and makes a difference...😅. P.S. We're cyclists. P.S. Luca said I swiped the pizzoccheri in 1'30"....I must have hit the jackpot. Few people will understand...🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks to the owners for everything.

We stopped for lunch during a motorbike ride, everything was excellent from the pizzoccheri to the desserts to the courtesy of the staff to the bill and obviously the context, thank you

We stayed here for the night of the 25th stage on the legendary Sentiero Italia. Starting from Pejo, we reached Bocchetta Tre Signori (3,102 m) only to discover that the equipped path to the Gavia Pass had completely collapsed and was impossible to navigate. This forced us to turn back and pass through the Graole Pass, extending the stage by another 15 km. The refuge manager picked us up on the main road leading to the Gavia Pass, saving us another 15 km on foot and a late-night arrival at the refuge. We will always be grateful to him for this. When we arrived at the refuge, despite it being 11 pm, he served us a delicious hot barley soup (so good). The rooms were clean, the beds comfortable, and the breakfast plentiful. Thanks again to the Berni refuge. Follow our adventure on the Sentiero Italia on YouTube @Libero_Sentiero

One family has run this Refugio for 60 years, and they are lovely people. We arrived late after a long ride up the mountain and they prepared our food and room very quickly. We cannot wait to return.

Very friendly and kind people running the place. we didnt get to eat here but stopped by to use the restroom. They charge 0.50€ to use the restroom and I didnt have change on me so they offered me to use it for free.

We were guests in summer 2019 on our transalp on the Albrecht Route. We stayed two days here, cause we wanted a day off an explore the gavia mountains. The people there are really kind and made us feel comfortable. The food was very good, great pasta ala ragu! I can recommend this location 100 %!

Christian Heidfeld

Very recommendable, family-like and lovely atmosphere, managed by a traditional Italian family. We really enjoyed our stay there. Best overnight stay at Gavia

Di recente abbiamo trascorso 2 giorni in mezza pensione per vivere due affascinanti escursioni in alta quota (monte Sobretta e monte Gaviola). Cibo ottimo, camerata con letti a castello in legno quas…

Forse il più rustico tra i rifugi locali ma sicuramente quello che mi ha colpito di più. Prima di tutto non si può non lodare i loro fantastici pizzoccheri, che a mio avviso sono i più buoni della zona, e poi la spontanea e tranquilla cortesia del personale che ti coccola e ti fa sentire subito a tu agio. Una cucina tradizionale semplice, dai sapori sinceri e con un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Very friendly and genuine; a good stop after a day of ski touring.

Good food and friendly staff.

Cena, pernottamento e colazione prima dell'ascensione alla Punta del Segnale. Pulizia e posizione ideale. Colazione e cena nella norma

Sono davvero esterrefatto per il comportamento maleducato e insolente. Non mi è mai capitato un simile atteggiamento in un rifugio, luogo dove cordialità e gentilezza solitamente sono di casa. Siamo arrivati oggi durante una giornata di pioggia e di conseguenza noi, come tutti i clienti erano bagnati ed infreddoliti, ma il gestore si è rifiutato di accendere la stufa per far asciugare i vestiti. Ho espressamente richiesto se ci fosse un posto dove poter asciugare i vestiti, visto che saremmo dovuti ripartire dopo il pranzo, ma mi è stato risposto che non avevano là possibili di farlo, aggiungendo che se non ero contento, potevo andare da un’altra parte!!!! Ci siamo tenuti i vestiti bagnati indosso e abbiamo pranzato così!!! Durante il pranzo ci è stato detto anche di abbassare la voce perché disturbavamo!!!! Non stavamo gridando, ma solamente parlando un una persona del tavolo accanto. Rimesso i vestiti bagnati, ci siamo incamminati infreddoliti per tornare a casa, delusi da persone così cafone che gestiscono un rifugio!!
