A weekend in the Dolomites is the perfect way to dive into the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage Site — a landscape of towering spires, alpine meadows, and glowing sunsets.

This two-day trek focuses on the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, among the most iconic peaks in Europe. Their dramatic north faces rise like cathedrals of stone above emerald meadows and quiet alpine lakes.
The route blends nature, history, and mountain culture, following trails that once marked the Italian-Austrian frontline during World War I. Along the way, remnants of old fortifications, tunnels, and trenches remind us of the harsh life of soldiers in these mountains.

If you have limited time but want to feel the essence of the Dolomites, this short trek delivers it all: spectacular views, rich history, warm hospitality, and pure mountain air.

Locatelli Refuge

This is what in Italian is called Rifugio. In English you might call it Lodge or Mountain Shelter. Rifugio, like a Bivacco, is in the middle of the mountains and you can enjoy the night in the Italian Alps with a bit more of comfort as you will not need to bring any food as they serve dinner and breakfast, there is light, toiletwarming system.  Also there is usually a Bar service so if you want to buy a beer or a genepy, the tipycal liquor of ther Italian Alps. Most of the shelter are open only during the summer(from July to first week of September) but some of them are opeoned all year long. The costs are pretty high as the food and every facilities are brought by elicopter.

In the Shelter you sleep in common room(sometimes 6-8 people sometimes 20) so anyway a bit of spirit of adventure is requiered. You need to bring a liner(light sleeping bag) or you will be able to rent it up there for around 5 euro. The rifugio is a good compromise for your alps trekking accomodation between comfort and wilderness.
