Rifugio Adolfo Sonino al Coldai

A welcoming cosy refuge at the bottom of the northern side of Monte Civetta at an altitude of 2132 m.
Perfect starting point for climbing to the 3220 m summit on one of the via ferrata or rock climbing routes.

Beautiful location right in the heart of the Civetta

Very cozy cottage, built directly on the rocks.
Nice people and good food.

The Sonnino al Coldai refuge, belonging to the CAI section of Venice, is located at the northern end of the grandiose Civetta group, on the head of the steep Val de le Ziolere. Its construction dates back to 1905, with renovations that were carried out in the early 1930s, thanks to the funding provided by the family of the late mountaineer Adolfo Sonino.The climb, quite simple and equally popular, offers splendid views of the Val Zoldana and a privileged observation point on Monte Pelmo, but also on the equally imposing shapes of the Cristallo and the Antelao or on the jagged profile of the Croda da Lago.A visit to the nearby Coldai lake is a must.

Excellent excursion for trained legs but rewarding for the breathtaking view and the beautiful lake
