Cozy little hut with a sunny outdoor terrace and bar below the cable car to the Marmolada. Certainly well frequented in winter, as it is located directly on the ski run, in summer a cosy, very quiet place with a nice host!

Highlight • Trail

A quiet trail for all needs, at least in the first section up to the challenging slopes towards Ombretta.

Ombretta Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The way here is partly narrow and you should be free from giddiness. But the view is great

Second attempt to reach the Falier refuge, but the snow conditions did not allow me. Who knows, maybe the third time will be the right one! Detoured and visited the wonderful Malga Franzedàz
