Located in the shadow of the commanding Averau mountain, Rifugio Averau lies close to the famous Cinque Torri and Rifugio Nuvolau. It offers more comfort than its higher-lying counterpart, including a laundromat to wash and dry the hikers’ sweaty clothes.
Sleeping quarters include family suites with balconies overlooking the mountains, dormitories, and double rooms. All of them are incredibly clean and offer above-average comfort at this altitude.
As for the cuisine, it does not leave its visitors disappointed. The hut serves authentic local dishes prepared from fresh ingredients by the rifugio’s own chef and sommelier, Matteo. Staying at Averau is much more than just spending the night. It is an entire gastronomic experience.
