I have inserted a photo from the year 2009 to show the difference in snow in these 16 years passed

Magnificent valley once dedicated to mountain pastures. Close to the cross-country ski track in winter and on a mountain bike track in summer

A karst depression vaguely reminiscent of an amphitheater, with the forest road surrounding it and the white rocks emerging from the green meadow: an extremely evocative and peaceful bucolic spot! The entire area is characterized by a wide variety of karst phenomena: unique furrowed fields are everywhere, sometimes reaching 2-3 meters deep; within a radius of 200 meters are numerous underground cavities that descend to a hundred meters; the busa itself is a karst depression. Among shepherds, the toponym 'Busa del Molton' (in Italian Buca del Montone) refers to the place where all the flocks gather in the spring for wool shearing; the small stone shelter, equipped with mattresses and a stove, is called—not surprisingly—'Baito del Pastore' (Shepherd's Hut). https://www.gruppospeleo7c.it/pubblicazioni-stampa-e-convegni/loch-speleologia-in-altopiano/loch-1978/item/busa-del-molton-agosto-settembre-1978

The current structures are renovated military barracks from the Great War

Managed by the same family for numerous generations, the Crucolo refuge stands at around 1,100 meters above sea level at the foot of Lagorai. Particularly worth trying here is Parampampoli, a liqueur that Giordano Purin invented in the 1950s by mixing together coffee, wine, grappa and sugar. However, you can also buy and taste cured meats and cheeses.

La Busa del Molton (Montone in Italian) is a very interesting place from a landscape point of view, you can admire meadows dotted with particular rock formations that make them truly suggestive. Among shepherds it indicates the place where the sheep are gathered in spring to be sheared. The area is nothing more than a karst depression and the scattered rocks are probably of moraine origin. There are therefore numerous underground cavities with depths of up to a hundred metres. Here there is a small house (Baito) equipped with 6 mattresses, a stove and more, so you can spend the night sheltered from the weather.

From this refuge and its surroundings you can admire beautiful views. It can be used as a starting point for many excursions (I recommend including a visit to Lago delle Prese which is only 20 minutes from the refuge). The road to get to the refuge, with a perfect asphalt surface, is a little narrow, but almost always enough for two cars to pass, slow down and be careful. It's worth walking because the nature in these parts is wonderful.
