Tiziano
2,246m
Veneto, Italy
About
Tiziano sits at 2,246m in Val Longa above Cortina d'Ampezzo. Reach it from Passo Ghedina (2,159m) via a 2-hour trail that climbs steadily through alpine meadow and loose scree. The final approach crosses exposed terrain—bring a headtorch if you arrive near dusk. Winter access requires ski mountaineering skills and avalanche awareness.
This is a basic mountain refuge built in 1899 and rebuilt multiple times after damage. It holds 9 beds across simple dormitory rooms. The hut is staffed during summer months (late June to September). There is no running water, no kitchen service, and no electricity—bring a water bottle and fill at snowmelt or meltwater sources above the hut. A small open bivvy shelter (Bivacco Toso) sits adjacent if the main hut is full. Toilets are outside.
Book via rifugi.cai.it or call the CAI office directly. Summer weekends, especially July and August, fill fast—book at least 4-6 weeks ahead. Outside staffed season, collect keys from the Val Longa ranger station or nearby rifugio operators. This hut suits experienced hikers comfortable with minimal facilities and self-sufficiency. It is a working base for scrambles in the Sorapis group and longer traverses toward Tre Cime.
