Welcome to 1,820 metres above sea level! To ensure you enjoy an authentic, stress-free experience in the heart of the Dolomites, please read these instructions carefully.

🎒 1. Getting Ready: What to Bring

IMPORTANT: The refuge can only be reached on foot.

• Luggage: Please use a hiking backpack. Trolleys and hard suitcases are strongly discouraged, as the trails make them very difficult to bring along.

• Clothing: You'll be in the high mountains — bring proper footwear (hiking boots) and dress in layers.

🚗 2. Parking in Arabba

The refuge cannot be reached by car. You can leave your vehicle in the car parks in the centre of Arabba.

• All car parks (both free and paid) are about a 5-minute walk from the start of the trails.

🥾 3. How to Reach Us on Foot

From Arabba you can choose between two pleasant walks:

• Option A – Trail 637 (the most direct):

  • Start: Near the Burz chairlift (village centre).

  • Route: A forest-and-pasture track crossing the ski slopes. The first stretch is short but steep.

  • Distance/Time: 1.3 km | about 30 minutes | 200 m elevation gain.

• Option B – Trail 638 "Panorama" (the most scenic):

  • Start: To the left of Garnì Ru de Mont (towards Passo Campolongo).

  • Route: A trail weaving in and out of the woods with gentler gradients. At the fork, keep left towards Plan Boè.

  • Distance/Time: 1.6 km | about 35 minutes | 200 m elevation gain.

Please note: watch out for mountain bikers sharing the same trails.
