Rifugio Des Alpes
4.7About
Rifugio Des Alpes stands on Col Rodella above Campitello di Fassa in the Val di Fassa (Trentino), right by the top station of the Col Rodella cable car from Campitello. Col Rodella is one of the best viewpoints in the valley, looking across to the Sassolungo, the Sella group, Pordoi and the Marmolada.
The Val di Fassa tourist board lists it as open from mid-June to mid-October and from early December to mid-April, and asks visitors to confirm opening with the hut. In winter it is a stop on the Sellaronda ski circuit; in summer Col Rodella is a base for walkers and mountain bikers and a paragliding take-off. It has a restaurant and Tyrolean-style rooms for overnight stays. Phone +39 0462 601184 or +39 346 2381529, or see rifugiodesalpes.it.
The easiest approach is the cable car from Campitello di Fassa; Rifugio Friedrich August and the Friedrich August path towards the Sassolungo are a short walk away.
