Stage 4: Rifugio Lagazuoi to Rifugio Nuvolau

Rifugio Nuvolau, Italy

About this hike

The oldest rifugio in the Dolomites, Rifugio Nuvolau sits atop a rocky spire with breathtaking views of the Cinque Torri, Marmolada, and Tofane. With no road or cable car access, it's a special reward for those who hike in. Cozy and windswept, it's a favorite for sunrise or sunset over the peaks.
