Preuss refuge, Mountain hut in Vigo di Fassa, Italy.
The Preuss Refuge stands at 2243 meters elevation in the Dolomites, providing shelter and facilities for hikers exploring the Catinaccio mountain group.
Giovanni Piaz established this mountain refuge in 1913, naming it after Paul Preuss, who advanced the development of free climbing techniques in the Alps.
The refuge continues its mountain hospitality traditions through generations of the Piaz family, serving regional specialties and maintaining climbing routes.
Visitors can reach the refuge via multiple routes, including a cable car from Vigo di Fassa to Rifugio Ciampedie, followed by a 45-minute walk.
The refuge maintains direct access to the Vajolet Towers and includes a terrace offering views extending toward Punta Emma in the Dolomites.
