Rifugio Plan Boè
3.7About
Rifugio Plan Boè sits at 1810m on the Passo Ghedina, between the Ra Ghedina and Nuvolau peaks in the Dolomites. Most hikers reach it from Cortina d'Ampezzo via the Tre Croci pass road, then a 90-minute walk southeast. The approach is straightforward and non-technical, making this a solid base for day walks into the surrounding limestone ridges.
The hut has 20 beds split across simple rooms. Meals are solid mountain fare—expect pasta, local cheeses, and valley produce. The kitchen serves breakfast and dinner; packed lunches are available. A small bar stocks coffee and drinks. Water comes direct from the mountain. The hut opens mid-June through September and operates as a staffed facility with basic but clean facilities. Toilets are outdoor-style. The location works well for ridge walking toward the Tre Croci or longer circuits across the Nuvolau group.
Book directly by phone or email at least two weeks ahead, especially for weekends in July and August. The hut fills quickly on Saturdays and during school holidays. Arrive before 18:00 if you've booked dinner. The staff speak Italian and basic English. Cold-weather months see reduced opening—confirm dates before planning a spring or autumn visit.
