マレッベ-エネベルク-マレッベの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

Small, lovingly designed chapel at the Puez Hut.

A hub where many hikers and mountaineers meet. Very busy on weekends.

On the plateau of the Puez Dolomites group, at an altitude of 2,475 meters above sea level, there is the Puez refuge, one of the most renowned refuges in Alto Adige. Surrounded by the rocky spiers of the Dolomites that make up the Puez-Odle Natural Park, the Puez refuge has been present for over a hundred years. This area is paradise for those who love running in the mountains.

Arrival in the rain, departure in the sun

the hike from the closest cable car (Rifugio Averau) on a summer day is similar to the exit of a subway station in term of people density ! Fortunately, the view on the top is rewarding. And the best comes when you go down on the north ridge: after 5 minutes, the crowd is behind and you can enjoy a very nice walk. Beware of the path: 2 short sections of 40m are equipped with a cable. Easy if you have a sure foot.

Great location, good food, very friendly staff. No water for showering, hardly any power sockets in the rooms, so a power bank is necessary.

We walked today 8-6-2023 from Averau to Nuvolau (after starting at Passo Giau). To be clear: the stretch to Nuvolau is not for everyone as far as we are concerned. Today the stones and moss were wet. There was a real risk of falling. It's a real challenge...

The Nuvolau refuge is located on the top of Monte Nuvolau at 2575 metres, in the municipality of Cortina d'Ampezzo and can only be reached on foot. Source: https://rifugionuvolau.it/?page_id=253
