Located at 1,680 meters on the southeast slopes of the last bastions of the Pale di San Martino, the Refuge overlooks the Belluno Dolomites National Park, offering views that reveal the majesty of these UNESCO World Heritage mountains. Here, every step invites you to slow down and respect the rhythms of nature, immersing yourself in a landscape that inspires and moves.
We are attentive custodians of this unique environment, believing that the mountain experience should be approached with care and awareness. Our hospitality respects the surrounding ecosystem: renewable energy, organic and locally sourced products, and sustainable choices in every detail.
Our cuisine reflects the same attention: carefully selected ingredients, authentic flavors, and simplicity in relationships, creating moments of genuine conviviality in harmony with the mountains and those who visit.
