Ottimo punto di partenza per passeggiate spettacolari. Il rifugio è molto carino e ben curato, il personale gentile e le cene / colazioni ottime. Comodo il parcheggio adiacente. Abbiamo soggiornato in matrimoniale con mezza pensione nel ponte di Ognissanti e siamo stati molto soddisfatti. Consigliamo per giri nella bellissima val Formazza in ogni stagione!

Very easy to reach by car, at the foot of the dam that creates the Lago dei Sabbioni in the Formazza Valley. The food is delicious, from the appetizers to the desserts, all homemade. The young staff is extremely friendly and prompt; reservations are required. The room reviews were not provided as we didn't stay overnight; we hope to be able to organize a weekend stay in the near future.

Excellent mountain cuisine with a breathtaking view! The Rifugio Bim-Se restaurant is a must-see for anyone visiting the Formazza Valley. Well-prepared traditional dishes, generous portions, and quality local ingredients—from polenta with stew to mountain cheeses like Bettelmatt. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming, perfect for a tasty break after a hike or simply to enjoy the view. Fair prices and an authentic atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Strategic location for trekking in the beautiful upper Formazza Valley. Very welcoming rooms and plentiful food. Sweet and savory breakfast. The tagliatelle, handmade by the refuge's owners, are delicious. Family-run. Recommended!

I highly recommend booking in advance. The food is exceptional at more than fair prices. Service is fast and accurate despite the many tables occupied. There's a view of the lake dam and the surrounding mountains. It's accessible from the paid parking lot via a slight uphill walk of a few minutes; alternatively, you can park directly in front of the refuge, but there's not always space. Highly recommended.

Here, you're just like at your grandmother's house, pampered by the comfortable accommodations equipped with every comfort. The rooms overlook the valley, and the little church of Sant'Anna, perched on a small hill, is the only light you can see; the other light is that of the countless stars that fill the sky. Everything here is beautiful and delicious: the girls who serve and give directions are priceless, always kind and smiling (and patient as can be...); the dishes prepared by Davide are exquisite, offering truly delicious, simple, and authentic food every day. And what a pleasure to have sincere and fun conversations with Francesca, Davide's wife, mother, and super manager of everything! Highly recommended...in any season! For lunch or dinner, reservations are a must: otherwise, you risk only being able to smell the aromas of the dishes and watch others eat them! I'm sharing just a few photos of some of the dishes and a wonderful view of Lake Morasco, beyond the dam right behind the refuge. Enjoy Bim se!

It was my fist time visiting “diga di morasco” and stopped here for lunch. Food are amazing!!! We had tagliolini with ragù (deer meat), tortelli with polenta and poppy seeds and of course the polenta with blue cheese and lardo. We also had gelato with blueberries. Everthing was so good! I think they are all homemade starting from the pasta itself. Overall I’m rating it 5 because all of the crew were so hospitable and kind. Salute to the chef for the good food. 👏🏻👌🏼

Food specific to the mountainous area. The place is particularly beautiful because it is surrounded by mountains and an artificial lake.

We hat a perfect stay at the Rifugio Bimse. The staff was very friendly, our room was spacious and clean, they served fantastic italian food and the prices were moderate. We absolutely recommend Bimse for an overnight stay. Grazie mille!

Honest place, good food like polenta with deer, or yummy pasta at a very honest price. The location, despite a camping ground, is stunning. Still wonder why the would allow caravans in the valley, they are a punchy to the face.

Accogliente rifugio che vi attende alla fine del giro del lago di Morasco o, a seconda della direzione, ad inizio giro. Ci siamo fermati in due per prendere un gelato con mirtilli, una fetta di crostata e due birre ... Tutto buonissimo.

Bellissima giornata con pranzo al rifugio. Si mangia molto bene. Vasta scelta di polenta abbinata a differenti alternative tra cui carne e funghi. Tenete in considerazione che durante il week end fanno doppio turno al tavolo pertanto è necessario liberare prima possibile. Se volete rilassarvi e prendervela comoda, organizzate durante la settimana oppure puntate al secondo turno.

If you want to go to the restaurant during weekend or holidays, boot a table in advance, otherwise you’ll not find any.

Excellent lunch for a rifugio. ..

Piatti tipici da rifugio, ben cucinati, sempre molto pieno, conviene prenotare. Consiglio tagliolini fatti da loro e polenta concia, molto buoni! Prezzi onesti! Consiglio. Si arriva anche in macchina.

Posto in posizione strategica con bei tavoli esterni, e’ la seconda volta che ci fermiamo in tre anni. Il personale è gentile ma la prima volta nel piatto a base di ragù c’era una zecca e oggi negli gnocchi all’ossolana della plastica. La scarsa attenzione in cucina penalizza in modo terminante la ns percezione. Polenta totalmente insapore.

Half board: Good room, but with a big oversight in cleaning. Dinner nothing special, bad breakfast (mainly industrial). Great location for walking around the area. Wifi works bad. No bancomat/cards payment.
