Rifugio Laresei
2.2About
Rifugio Laresei sits at 2,260m in the Dolomites, accessible via the Tre Cime di Lavaredo circuit. Most hikers reach it from Auronzo di Cadore (1,320m) in 4–5 hours, following the marked trail network through the Tre Cime area. The approach is well-graded and straightforward, with no technical climbing required. You can also access it from Misurina or via the Passo Tre Croci.
The rifugio has 60 beds across multiple rooms and serves hearty mountain food at lunch and dinner. Breakfasts are basic but adequate. Hot showers are available, though water is heated seasonally, and the hut runs on generator power. It operates year-round but conditions are harsh November–April; most hikers visit June–September when all facilities run smoothly. The hut is popular with trekkers doing the full Tre Cime circuit.
Book directly by phone or email at least 4–6 weeks ahead for July and August; weekends fill faster than weekdays. The hut is quieter in shoulder seasons (May, September–October), when you can often walk in without advance notice. Half-board is the standard option, though camping near the hut is permitted if beds are full. Check their website for current contact details and opening status before heading up.
