 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
I have the opportunity to ski at the Dolomiti Superski areas next week and am scrambling to book rifugios on the slopes. Can anyone recommend a favorite rifugio that I can try to book - I know it's last minute! I've stayed at Fermeda (below Seceda), Des Alpes, Baita Cuz, Scoiatoli, Averau, Lagazuoi, and Duca D'Aosta. I have to cast a wide net due to the spontaneous nature of the trip and I was hoping to try some new rifugios. I ski seven days and stay six nights in rifugios on the slopes, preferably away from any roads. I love that you can do this in the Dolomites! Thanks in advance.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Fun weather shaping up for this trip. I booked rifugios Baita Cuz, Lagazuoi (tram is closed today due to weather!), Averau, a hotel in Pescul, and one in Campitello di Fassa. I’ll post a trip report when I’m back!

@Scooter in Seattle, yes, I walk out of my hotel in Bolzano with my backpack on and in my ski boots! I walk to the bus station and take the 30 minute ride to the Suisi Cabanova. I’m just packing everything up now. I have to fit toiletries, hut slippers, water bottle, hut shirt, sweater and pants, extra socks and stuff. On this trip I’ll be bringing my climbing skins, headlamp, chargers, etc. Here in Vermont I ski mostly backcountry, so I’m used to skiing with a backpack. It’s not too bad, however, I typically like to stay in the same rifugio two nights in a row so that every other day I don’t have to wear the pack. For me, there’s nothing like sleeping in a small Rifugio at the top of a mountain and experiencing the peace that descends as the lifts close and the sun sets and how exciting it feels to wake up before the lifts start and watch the day begin.
