    The Scarpa - Gurekian Refuge (1,735 m) is located near Malga Lósch, in a panoramic position open to the south-east, with a vast view of the Vette Feltrine. Owned by the CAI section of Agordo, since summer 2018 it has been managed by the Alpine guide Marco Bergamo. In addition to being a reference point for mountaineering ascents to the major peaks of the Agnèr - Croda Granda Group, the refuge is a base for easy excursions, such as the nearby Còl di Luna or the Fabio Miniussi Nature Trail.

    The current structure stands on the ashes of the chalet owned by the Venetian painter Enrico Scarpa, who had strong ties to these places. In 1912 he realized his dream: to build a small chalet on the Colle di Lósch to carry out his artistic activity. Thus arose the original nucleus of the current building, called Eremo Rèsele, from the name of the daughter he had from his marriage to the noblewoman Itala Teresa Casari. Enrico Scarpa passed away in 1935, at the time of maximum local tourist expansion. From that moment on, the chalet at the foot of the Agnèr began a journey parallel to the events of the town, with seasons of intense tourist activity and others less favorable.

    Its history goes through the first expansion, the transformation into a private refuge of the founder's heirs, the chairlift connection with Frassené on the occasion of the Olympic Games of Cortina d'Ampezzo 1956, the passage to the Agordina Section of the CAI in 1961, the second expansion of 1966/67, the beautiful seasons of winter tourism, up to the first difficulties at the end of the 80s paradoxically after the modernization of the ski lift. Instead, in 1984 the co-dedication to Ohannes Gurekian, an engineer of Armenian origin, mountaineer and President of the CAI Agordo from 1930 to 1945.

      Amazing refuge, open for long periods even in winter. Great food, great view.
