Rifugio Mulaz, Mountain refuge in Pale di San Martino range, Italy.
Rifugio Mulaz sits at 2571 meters (8435 feet) in the Pale di San Martino group, positioned between the Mulaz massif and the Focobon mountains. The shelter provides beds and meals for mountaineers and hikers who come to explore these high-altitude landscapes.
The Venice section of the Italian Alpine Club founded this shelter in 1907 to serve mountaineers exploring the Dolomites. It was built during a period when organized climbing was growing in the region and more people sought the high peaks.
The Zagonel family keeps mountain hospitality alive through their cooking and the way they welcome visitors, offering regional dishes that taste of the valley below. They share knowledge about the mountains and help guests plan their next day's climb.
You can reach this shelter through several routes from Passo Rolle, from Malga Venegia via Campigol della Vezzana, or from Passo Valles starting near Falcade. Summer months offer the best conditions for visiting, when snow has melted and the refuge operates at full capacity.
This shelter serves as a hub for the Palaronda Ferrata 360, a multi-day loop connecting eight mountain huts scattered across the range. The route draws serious hikers who want to spend several days crossing and re-crossing these peaks.
