About
Voltolina Leo e Gino sits at 2,082m in the Valle del Boite, reachable from Cortina d'Ampezzo via the Tre Croci pass trail (roughly 2–3 hours depending on your starting point). This is a Bivacco Apollonio—a distinctive half-barrel emergency shelter installed in the early 1960s.
The hut has 9 beds and 9 emergency places. It's staffed during summer months only. There's no running water, meals, or WiFi. Bring everything you need: water, food, a sleeping bag, and a mat. Winter access is possible but you'll find the hut unattended and unheated. This is a refuge for experienced hikers doing high mountain routes in the Dolomites, not a comfortable overnight base.
Book through rifugi.cai.it or email the CAI directly. Confirm current staffing and conditions before heading out, especially outside July–August. The hut fills during peak season weekends, so book at least two weeks ahead for summer visits.
