    The Galassi refuge is an alpine refuge located near Forcella Piccola. Squeezed between the Antelao massif and Cima Scotter, it is a stop on the Alte Vie 4-5 and the new Marmarole Runde. It was inaugurated in 1913 as a military shelter for the mountaineering exercises of the mountain troops and named after Pietro Galassi, lieutenant of the VII Alpini who died in Libya in May of the same year. The barracks was able to accommodate 250 men and 10 quadrupeds with an adjoining wooden observatory. In 1928 the barracks was abandoned and managed by the CAI section of Pieve di Cadore until 1933. In 1937 the structure was returned to the military authorities and in 1950 it was entrusted to the CAI section of Mestre which left it in management to the Moretti couple - Zugliani until 1960. Now an alpine refuge in all respects, it was renovated both in 1967 and in 1973.

    Since 1970, the refuge has been self-managed by the CAI of Mestre through the free work of its volunteers, who take turns on a weekly basis to ensure all services. Open from the last ten days of June to the penultimate of September, it has a capacity of 100 beds, divided into dormitories of 5 up to a maximum of 20 places. The refuge also houses the "Visentin-Malgarotto Alpine Activities Centre", equipped with a multimedia room with 50 seats. About 10 minutes from the refuge there is an equipped climbing wall (Falesia dei Becett) dedicated to Renzo Mingardo, instructor of the "Cesare Capuis" Mountain School who fell on the Antelao in 2011. Adjacent to the refuge there is also a new winter shelter with 8 beds.

      The Galassi refuge is located in an enchanting position, on the northern slopes of Mount Antelao. It is open from mid-June to mid-September and has a capacity of 120 beds. It is not the usual cozy alpine refuge, something to keep in mind if you decide to sleep here.

        Getting to the Galassi refuge is moderately challenging, you definitely need trekking boots.
        If done late morning - midday, I recommend having a hat and sunscreen because the valley is completely exposed and there is little shade.

        The Galassi, and especially the staff - who are part of the CAI of Mestre - are very welcoming and kind, and always willing to share stories and advice.
