the Ristoro Monte Scale
is located at 2000 mt high.
It is sorrounded by a magnificent setting where the artificial lakes of Cancano and S.Giacomo dominate the scene.
From here, you can start your excursions or your bike trips.
The Ristoro Monte Scale is also the right place for tasting the traditional meals of these valleys and where to spend your holidays.
The Ristoro Monte Scale takes its name from the impressive mountain that overhelmes the Valley of Fraele.
It is located at the beginning of the valley itself, just before reaching the big dam of Cancano, at a height of nearly 2000m
The Ristoro Monte Scale is maneged by the Cola’s family. It is opened at lunch and dinner time, with the chance to overnight.
Atmosphere
Simple and genuine family atmosphere.
The wide lunch room can host even large groups.
We speak French, English and German. We accept small and medium size dogs, kept on a leash.
Opening time
The ristoro is always opened in summer time, for lunch and dinner.
It is closed in winter.
We kindly invite you to book your stay.
Our courses
We offer the traditional courses of this alpine area.
Pizzoccheri are the master course of the traditional meals in Valtellina: they are a kind of buckwheat noodles with chards, potatoes and mountain pasture cheese flavored with melted butter and sage.
We also offer other traditional courses of Valtellina such as Malfatti: spinach and bread dumplings dressed with meat sauce, butter and Parmesan cheese. And other specialities such as typical snacks made with mixed local cheeses and cold meats, including of course Bresaola: the most characteristic beef meat, pride of the entire Valtellina, that was born in Valdidentro. Then deer, rabbit, polenta, mushrooms and cheeses; all accompanied by Valtellina’s wines such as Sassella or Grumello, for a great tasting.
The rooms
The Ristoro Monte Scale offers the chance to overnight in comfortable rooms provided with bunk beds and private bathroom.
For a unique experience in the adiacent ‘Baitina’ are available cozy rooms with single and bunk beds.
Telephone and television are at disposal for the guests in the bar area.
For your mountain bikes, there is the chance to shelter them
