Thanks to its strategic position, the Auronzo refuge offers easy access to one of the most famous excursions in the area. In addition to being a convenient stopping point, the refuge has hospitable services and a kitchen that serves tasty local dishes, perfect after a day of trekking.

Standard starting point for climbing tours to the Three Peaks, but also a tourist magnet. The food is ok, nothing more or less. On quieter days the staff is really friendly, otherwise it gets lost in the rush of tourists. Nothing as a goal in itself, but useful for the cake when you're there.

The effort of the almost 1000 meters of ascent are quickly forgotten with this incomparable mountain panorama. Just take a seat on the rocks or the lawn and enjoy.

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
