Mountain biking

Rest stop at the end of the Cedec Valley at the foot of Gran Zebrù, Cevedale, and Pizzo Tresero.
An initial refuge, destroyed during the Great War, was rebuilt in 1926 and dedicated to the memory of Luigi E. Pizzini, a renowned Milanese mountaineer.

Renewed and renovated in 1982 thanks to the legacy of Mrs. Mayr Frattola, it took the new name "Pizzini-Frattola" in memory of Alpine General Carlo Frattola and his son Augusto, who died on the Cima Grande di Lavaredo.

The Pizzini-Frattola refuge (2706 m a.s.l.) is a hospitable and imposing high mountain refuge. It can be reached from Santa Caterina Valfurva and here it is possible to rest a bit before climbing towards Passo Zebrù.

Hiking

The refuge is strategically located at the end of the Cedec Valley at the foot of Gran Zebrù, Cevedale and Pizzo Tresero and is the starting point for numerous excursions, even challenging ones.
Destroyed during the Great War, it was rebuilt in 1926 and dedicated to the memory of Luigi E. Pizzini, a well-known Milanese mountaineer.
Subsequently enlarged and renovated in 1982 thanks to the legacy of Mrs. Mayr Frattola, it took on the new name of “Pizzini-Frattola” in memory of the Alpine General Carlo Frattola.
