The Alpine Group Braone the late 1980 Commission established the Refuge Management , currently chaired by Giuliano Facchini.
La Commissione è preposta alla gestione di una bella struttura, in località Monte Foppe di Sopra, di proprietà del Comune di Braone. Anche se tutti lo chiamano affettuosamente "rifugio", lo stabile non è ufficialmente un rifugio e quindi non viene gestito con i crismi dovuti alla gestione di un vero rifugio; molto più semplicemente è utilizzato dagli escursionisti e dalle piccole comitive come un piacevole e solido riparo e come punto di riferimento per ristorarsi e riposare.
Va comunque detto che, vista l'imponenza della struttura, è molto di più di un semplice bivacco. Per chi volesse utilizzare il "rifugio" è possibile prenotare l'uso della struttura, incluso il accommodation, by contacting the City of Braone, or the responsible management of the Commission.
