The experience
We'll walk along panoramic trails winding through forests of fir and larch, cross quiet mountain pastures, and admire one of the most iconic massifs of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites.
Once we reach the refuge, we’ll relax in a welcoming alpine atmosphere and, if you wish, enjoy traditional mountain dishes and local flavors.
