Baita Cuz

Baita Cuz sits at 2,213m in the Dolomites near Cortina d'Ampezzo. Reach it from Passo Ghedina (2,130m) via a marked trail in 1.5 hours, or from Cortina via the Strada delle 100 Curve and a longer approach. The hut works as a base for ridge walks and scrambles in the Falzarego massif, with direct access to climbing routes on Via Ferrata Miriam and surrounding peaks.
The hut has 40 beds in mixed and private rooms. Meals are good value: hearty Italian mountain food with locally-sourced ingredients when possible. Half-board is standard. The kitchen opens to a terrace where you can see across to Ra Gusela. Open year-round, though winter reliability depends on snow conditions and staff availability—confirm ahead if you're visiting December to March.
Book 4-6 weeks ahead for July and August, especially weekends. Contact direct through their website or phone to check winter opening. The hut fills quickly because it's a reliable half-day hike from the main road, making it popular with families and trekkers who don't want a full alpine commitment.
