On the eastern side of the Vigolana, about halfway along the path that from Sindech climbs to the peaks of Becco di Filadonna 2150m, the highest in the Vigolana group, stands the Casarota refuge of the SAT section. The refuge was built in 1959 by restoring an old building; it was subsequently completely renovated in 1981 and inaugurated in 1982. It was then completely renovated (after a furious fire) in 2000 and dedicated to Livio Ciola, former president of the satellite section of Centa San Nicolò. It dominates the upper part of the Centa valley and the northernmost part of the Lavarone and Vezzene plateau.

At higher elevations on Vigolana mountain, it’s possible to spot chamois, but once you arrive at Rifugio Casarota, Lorenza Delama’s two alpacas, Duca and Principe, will capture your attention. This refuge is managed by SAT (Association of Trentino Mountaineers), and offers stunning views of Altopiano di Lavarone from its large terrace. It’s a perfect location for exploring the wilder side of Vigolana or simply relaxing. The refuge is open every day from June 11th to September 25th, and every weekend throughout the year.

Before embarking on a hike, it’s important to contact the manager to confirm the actual opening of the mountain hut. The walk from Rifugio Casarota to Rifugio Paludei takes around two hours (difficulty EE), while the ascent to Becco di Filadonna along the Vallon delle Mandre takes approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes (difficulty EE).
