Heiligkreuz-Hospiz, Mountain shelter at Santa Croce, South Tyrol, Italy
The Santa Croce refuge stands at 2,045 meters elevation in the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park, surrounded by Dolomite peaks and green meadows.
The structure's history dates to 1484 when Count Volkhold of San Lorenzo di Sebato established the first church, later expanded with pilgrim accommodations in 1718.
The refuge maintains five generations of family traditions in South Tyrolean hospitality, serving regional dishes including their signature Kaiserschmarren dessert.
Visitors can reach the refuge through a 2.5-hour hike from San Leonardo in Badia or take the chairlift for easier access to this mountain destination.
The refuge features a modern 360-degree webcam that captures the evening phenomenon of enrosadira, when the surrounding mountains display pink and orange colors.
