Rifugio Lavaredo, Mountain hut in Auronzo di Cadore, Italy
Rifugio Lavaredo is a mountain hut in the Dolomites, sitting near the foot of the Tre Cime peaks at about 2,344 feet (2,344 m) above sea level. It offers dormitory beds and simple hot meals to hikers passing through on the trails around the peaks.
The hut was built in 1954 to give shelter to walkers doing the circuit around Tre Cime di Lavaredo. It quickly became a regular stop on a route that had already been drawing mountaineers since the 19th century.
Rifugio Lavaredo sits along the route that circles the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, one of the most visited mountain circuits in the Alps. Walkers from across Europe stop here to rest, eat a hot meal, and share their day on the trail.
The hut is generally open from late June to September, so plan your visit within that window. Weather at this altitude can change fast, so bring warm layers even on a clear morning.
Rifugio Lavaredo sits between two other mountain huts, which means hikers passing through can split long routes into shorter stages in either direction. This makes it a practical overnight choice for people who want to explore the area over several days without retracing their steps.
