Two small lakes, a Refuge, and a little church in an idyllic place where it is said that Saint Julian withdrew to be an hermit. Observe the numerous granite boulders present in the area (some of the largest used as a rock climbing spot) and pocket a small stone: it will protect you as one of the legends associated with the saint assures. The Refuge is owned by the Municipality of Caderzone Terme.
Built of stone in a fascinating and solitary glacial basin, at an altitude of 1,960 meters, it has been recently renovated with eco-sustainability criteria suited to the 21st century.
Opening
Generally from early June to late September (weekends in May and October)
Before the hike, it is recommended to check the actual opening of the refuge by contacting the manager.
Routes
From the lakes of San Giuliano and Garzoné, it is possible to ascend to the Bocchetta dell’acqua fredda from which there is a great view of the Brenta Group (1 hour of walking, difficulty E) and from which it is possible to return downhill, passing by Lake Vacarsa and Malga Campostril. In about 45 minutes of walking (difficulty E), it is possible to reach Malga Germenega di mezzo with the adjacent Germenega pond, and if desired, one can descend into the Val di Genova.
