Rifugio Nuvolau among the Cinque Torri

A night in the oldest hut in the Dolomites.

Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

Day 1. We set off with the Guidders from Passo Giau and walk across scree and panoramic paths to the Cinque Torri, with Rifugio Scoiattoli at their feet. Then we climb to Rifugio Nuvolau, the oldest in the Dolomites, sitting on a summit that looks purpose-built: we sleep up there, surrounded by legendary peaks.

Day 2. We descend by Forcella Averau and Rifugio Averau, closing the loop back to Passo Giau.

5 reasons to come - sleeping at Rifugio Nuvolau, the oldest hut in the Dolomites - the Cinque Torri, among the most photographed rocks in the Alps - sunrise and sunset from the very same summit - Rifugio Scoiattoli and Rifugio Averau along the loop - the UNESCO Dolomites at their most iconic

Who it suits Two days on well-marked paths, with scree to be taken with a sure step: good fitness is needed.

A night up there changes the way you look at them: come with the Guidders.
