Rifugio Averau
About
The Rifugio Averau, nestled in the heart of the Dolomites at the Forcella Nuvolau, offers a rustic yet contemporary mountain retreat. Since its re‑opening in 2022, the refuge boasts newly renovated loft rooms with panoramic views of Civetta, the Marmolada and, for guests staying in the dormitories, the Tofana di Rozes. Traditional Dolomite cuisine—featuring dishes such as Cappelli dell’Alpino, Cialsons and a fava‑broccoli stuffing—takes center stage at the on‑site restaurant, where a carefully curated collections of local and European wines await. With a warm, family‑run atmosphere, a sweeping terrace, and close proximity to the famous Lagazuoi – 5 Torri – Passo Giau area, the refuge serves as a gateway for hikers, climbers, skiers, and anyone eager to experience the breathtaking scenery and heritage of the Dolomites. Visiting the Averau Refuge offers more than just lodging; it is a chance to step into a living slice of alpine history, enjoy mouth‑watering regional fare, and soak in the majestic landscape that has defined the area since the 19th‑century Siorpaes climbs. Whether you arrive on ski lift, by foot, or with a motor sled, the Averau promises a memorable mountain escape.
