With\u00a0several hundred mountain huts to choose from, it&#8217;s not an easy task to narrow it down to only a few.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Yet we all tend to have our favourites, and so do I! During the\u00a0many months\u00a0of research\u00a0for\u00a0my\u00a0photography and hiking guide to the Dolomites, I spent several evenings by the fire in a local backcountry hut.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_staying_in_a_mountain_hut_should_be_on_your_Dolomiti_bucket_list\"><\/span>Why staying in a mountain hut should be on your Dolomiti bucket list? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I can think of many reasons why you should plan at least one overnight stay in a mountain refuge in the Dolomites, but below are the three most important ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Affordability<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hotel bills can very quickly add up, especially after the pandemic, when the prices have skyrocketed. There are no more affordable lodging options in the Dolomites than the huts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices typically range from 70 Euros\/person\/night for a half-board option, which includes a 3-course dinner and a buffet breakfast in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alpine Club members receive a generous discount. I go more into pricing details in my article about the <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/mountain-huts-in-the-dolomites-info\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"641\">ins and outs of staying in a mountain hut in the Dolomites<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessibility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>What I love most about staying in alpine huts in the Dolomites is the access they offer to many adventures right at their doorstep. Particularly, many <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/category\/via-ferratas-dolomites\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/category\/via-ferratas-dolomites\/\">via ferrata routes<\/a>, for which the Dolomites are famous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Location<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>All rifugios have one thing in common. The location where they were built and the surrounding areas will leave you in awe every time.\u00a0Think of them as high alpine hotels for the price of a hostel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12254434699\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Favourite_Alpine_Huts_In_The_Italian_Dolomites_Are_Worth_An_Overnight_Stay\"><\/span>My Favourite Alpine Huts In The Italian Dolomites Are Worth An Overnight Stay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12256390499\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Rifugio_Nuvolau\"><\/span>1.

It is perched right near a few-hundred-meter cliff wall. Just the idea of spending a night in this hut might steal your sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first visited the hut in 2018, the customer service was lacking and the facilities were limited. However, since 2021, a new young local manager has been chosen, marking the first time a female manager has led Nuvolau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is Rifugio Nuvolau?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The hut was built right on the top of Mount Nuvolau, hence the name. Its extraordinary history dates back to 1883, when it first opened its doors to visitors. The nearest town is Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo, which you can see far in the valley from the refuge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to do near Rifugio Nuvolau<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nuvolau hut lies along <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/alta-via-one-guide-part-one\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"623\">Alta Via 1<\/a>, the famous multi-day traverse of the Dolomites.

Both are great, but Lagazuoi wins when it comes down to providing luxury. This privately owned rifugio is at the top of the hut experiences I&#8217;ve had in the Dolomites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beds are comfy, the facilities are great, and the booking process, which can be done directly through\u00a0their website, is seamless. Naturally, it all comes at a slightly higher price.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is Rifugio Lagazuoi?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The hut was built on Mount Lagazuoi, and that&#8217;s where it takes its name from. The mountain stands 700 vertical meters above the Falzarego Pass, which connects Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo with towns in the Badia Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fun fact from the terrace of Rifugio Lagazuoi, you can actually see the previously-mentioned Nuvolau hut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to do around Rifugio Lagazuoi<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lagazuoi hut also lies along the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/alta-via-one-guide-part-one\/\">Alta Via 1<\/a>\u00a0and offers great access to the advanced\u00a0via Ferrata Cesco Tomaselli.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also a great starting point if you would like to tackle the advanced <a href=\"https:\/\/rifugiolagazuoi.com\/EN\/p2-Overnight-stay-in-the-Rifugio\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/rifugiolagazuoi.com\/EN\/p2-Overnight-stay-in-the-Rifugio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Via Ferrata Giovanni Lipella<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people choose to access the hut via the historic Lagazuoi tunnels, which were created during the First World War and remain one of the biggest tourist attractions in the Dolomites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to reach the Lagazuoi hut<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest and quickest way is by taking the Lagazuoi cable car from Passo Falzarego. The top station is a 5-minute walk from the hut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adventure seekers should consider <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/lagazuoi-tunnels-day-hike\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"654\">hiking through the Lagazuoi tunnels<\/a> or Via Ferrata Kaiserj\u00e4ger to reach the hut.

From the top, you can see down into the town of\u00a0San Martino Di Castrozza. Looking the other way, you will be able to see\u00a0Mount Civetta, Monte Cristallo,<strong> <\/strong>and even the Tre Cime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to reach Rifugio Rosetta <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest access to the hut\u00a0is through\u00a0a two-tier\u00a0cable car from San Martino di Castrozza, called the Col Verde &#8211; Rosetta cable car. Then, walk for 15 minutes from the top of the station to the hut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can reach it from the other side by hiking from Rifugio Volpi al Mulaz (no. 13 on the list) along the Alta Via 2. This takes around 4-5 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have two weeks to hike the entire length of Alta Via 2, I recommend the shorter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/pale-di-san-martino-traverse\/\">traverse through the Pale di San Martino group.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rifugio Rosetta prices and summer 2024 opening times <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Club Alpino Italiano member (CAI)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price\/night (half board)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price\/night for AC members (half board)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Summer season 2024 opening times<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>YES<\/td><td>\u20ac 66 <\/td><td>\u20ac 50<\/td><td>TBA<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12256392099\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Rifugio_Lorenzi\"><\/span>9.

There are so many of them in the Alps after all. Below are a few of the most frequently asked questions I receive regarding staying in a refuge in the Dolomites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a full list, check out my article about <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/mountain-huts-in-the-dolomites-info\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"641\">everything there is to know about mountain huts in the Dolomites<\/a>. <strong>If you can&#8217;t find the information you are looking for, post your question in the comment section below. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any electrical outlets in the huts so I can charge my batteries?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, there are. Most huts have their own generators or create power from solar installations. That doesn&#8217;t mean the electricity is unlimited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to check with the staff to determine when you can use the electricity. In some huts, plug sockets for charging are only available at certain hours, and electricity is usually switched off at night, except for lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need a reservation to stay in a rifugio? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No, you don&#8217;t; it is possible to reserve on the spot. However, with the growing popularity, especially among tourists from overseas, the most popular huts sometimes book out months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No-shows are quite common, though, so the huts started introducing non-refundable deposit payments to ensure they don&#8217;t lose out on empty spots. I recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to reserve a hut in the Dolomites? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>During the summer season, when the huts are open, it is best to make a reservation via phone. Contact details are always provided on the hut&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the winter\/spring seasons, reservations are typically made via email or through the booking form on our website, unless otherwise specified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the packing essentials for a hut-to-hut trek in the Dolomites? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the fact that blankets, sheets, or even duvets are provided in the huts, and there is no necessity to carry food because each hut has its own on-site restaurant, ultralight backpacking is the way to go. The less you carry, the more enjoyable the trek will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two most essential items are the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3WrL7ql\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3WrL7ql\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sleeping bag liner<\/a> (the sheets aren&#8217;t washed daily) and a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XSchrK\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XSchrK\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">headlamp<\/a> (for when the lights go out at night). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/packing-list-hut-to-hut-treks-dolomites\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"616\">packing list for hut-to-hut hikes in the Dolomites<\/a>, which includes every single item I personally carry with me when I do these types of hikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#7bdbb54f\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Support_my_website\"><\/span>Support my website!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi Reader!
