Dolomites Alpine Refuges

The Sella Group in the Dolomites features a network of high-altitude refuges, ranging from remote alpine huts to accessible mountain restaurants. These locations, such as the summit-top Capanna Piz Fassa at 3,152 meters and the historic Rifugio Valentini, provide essential shelter and regional Ladin and Tyrolean cuisine. Many are managed by the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI) and serve as key stopovers for hikers on the Alta Via 2 and the Sellaronda circuit.
