Rifugio Nuvolau in the Dolomites

The Nuvolau hut was the most basic hut I stayed at during a week in the Dolomites. But this made it not less worth it. Built in 1883, Rifugio Nuvolau is the oldest refuge in the Dolomites. Located on the summit of Mount Nuvolau at 2575 meters, it is often called an eagle's nest due to its breathtaking location. This hut has been famous since the early days of mountaineering for its incredible panorama. The view from the top, especially at sunrise, made the effort to get there entirely worthwhile. Far from ski lifts and the hustle and bustle of Cortina, Rifugio Nuvolau is a very simple hut which adds to its charm. Showers are only available if there’s been enough rain, and you have to pay a small fee. Despite its basic amenities, a stay in the hut is a very unique experience. Have some dinner before watching the sunset over the mountains. The magnificent view + the peaceful isolation = one with nature 🫶🏽
