Welcoming refuge and good food ;)

Beautiful tour with wonderful views and good paths.

The Carestiato Refuge (1,834 m) stands on the panoramic Còl dei Pass, at the base of the southern faces of the Moiazza. It was built after World War II thanks to a courageous initiative by the Agordina Section of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI). The project was largely supported by the Carestiato family, in memory of their young son Bruto (1921-1943), who died in the Civetta massif. Còl dei Pass, chosen for the refuge, was at that time accessible only by a path used by herds from the nearby mountain pasture: all the necessary materials were therefore carried on the shoulders of endless teams of volunteers who ascended from Passo Duràn. Later, the collaboration of the Alpine troops from the XXII Marzo 1848 Barracks, who intervened several times with their pack animal unit, proved providential. Only the framework was prepared by sourcing wood from the adjacent wooded area and transported to the hill via rudimentary cableways. Over the years, the refuge has undergone technical and structural modernizations to provide logistical assistance to its numerous hikers. The current access (trail 549) was completed in 1978 and subsequently expanded several times. A unique feature is the crossing of the enormous Val di Vie gravel flow, which often blocks the dirt road. The water intake for the refuge's aqueduct is located here, supplied by a modern pumping station. The old structure underwent a radical renovation in 2005-2006, bringing the refuge to a modern and efficient standard through the expansion and modernization of the sleeping accommodations, kitchen area, and outdoor terrace. These works began under the presidency of Giorgio Fontanive and were completed thanks to funding from the Veneto Region, along with funds acquired from the sale of the "Cesare Tomè" refuge at Passo Duràn. The Carestiato Refuge has 8 bedrooms, each with 4 bunk beds, and an additional 4 bedrooms in the annex at the back. From here, the view sweeps across the Agordina Valley and its surrounding mountains: Monte Célo, Monti del Sole, Vette Feltrine, and the Croda Granda-Agnèr mountain range. www.rifugiocarestiato.com

The 7° alpini refuge is dedicated to the fallen of the 7° Alpini regiment; the chapel of the Regina Alpinorum, to protect hikers and in memory of the mountaineers who died on the walls of the Schiara, while the Severino Lussato bivouac is dedicated to the national secretary who fell from the Tofana di Rozes All three are located in the suggestive Conca del Pis Pilon at the foot of the great walls of the Pelf, the Pale del Balcon and the Schiara. Located on the Alta Via n.1, it is the starting point for challenging via ferratas

Super refuge in a strategic position just below the Schiara group, really kind and friendly staff, excellent food, highly recommended. Next time I think I'll sleep there because the view is really worth it 🤩😍

Easy nice relaxing enough.
