Rifugio Punta Ces
2.7About
Rifugio Punta Ces sits at 2,227m on the ridge between Val di Fassa and Val Gardena in the Dolomites. Reach it from Passo Ghedina (2,135m) in 1.5 hours on marked trail 638. The approach is steady uphill with good footing. From Canazei, drive to Passo Ghedina and park at the pass.
The rifugio holds 90 guests across dormitory and private rooms. Half board is standard—expect mountain cooking with local cheese and cured meats. A small bar serves coffee and beer. Water comes from a natural spring. The hut operates year-round but expect reduced services November through April. Toilets are basic but clean. There is no heating beyond wood stoves in common areas, so bring a warm sleeping bag in shoulder seasons.
Book 2–3 months ahead for July and August weekends. Direct booking by phone is fastest and lets you confirm meal timing. The hut fills quickly during school holidays and fair-weather weekends in summer. October is quieter and offers stable weather. Winter ascents are possible but require proper equipment and mountain sense.
