Rifugio Marini was established in 1947 thanks to the passion for the mountains and the desire on the part of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) Palermo section to offer hikers, sportsmen and nature lovers a comfortable and cosy environment where they could stop, stay or even just eat. They are the custodians of a structure rich in history and dedication, a destination and a starting point for getting to know the environmental and cultural heritage of the mountains and the Madonie Park.
