Rifugio Gian Pietro Talamini In Vodo cadore

We arrived at this refuge from the town of Zoppé di Cadore. A beautiful walk of, more or less, 5 km. Very quiet forest road, effortless, beautiful ups and downs. The route intersects between woods and open spaces, a small "village of cabins" and many deer footprints in the snow. Really relaxing. The refuge is small and for those who want to taste the delicious dishes of mother and daughter, it is better to book in advance. Very good, the dumplings are delicious, as is the melted cheese. But in addition to good food, friendliness and friendliness are a very welcome "side dish".

Eight of us arrived following a reservation for the second shift at 1.30pm and, after a wait due to those who were late in leaving the occupied table for the first shift at 12pm, we comfortably took our seats. The refuge is run by mother and daughter who tell us about the supply difficulties due to the nervous season, but who still manage to satisfy all orders. The goulash with dumplings and the venison with polenta were excellent, but, in general, all the dishes were appreciated and the prices were honest (I attach the menu). The daughter is certainly the most sociable and, after a bit of conversation, makes guests feel like they are in their own home. Congratulations are in order for the dedication of these women and for the valorisation of a refuge which still shows the authenticity of its true nature and which is not confused with the many refuges which have now become too commercial. We didn't use the rooms, so the 5 stars refer to the authenticity of the place.

It's the first time I've eaten at this refuge, the room isn't very big and it's recommended to book. There's a good choice of menu and what we ate was all good. The only flaw in my opinion and from what I've heard from other people is that the place was a bit cold, although I can understand that in the winter season it's not easy to heat an environment in the high mountains.

Super. Kind service, with excellent speck eggs and potatoes and an excellent strudel. Easy one hour walk to get there

We arrived without a reservation but fortunately we managed to have lunch: dumplings, soup, polenta, mushrooms and Ampezzo-style potatoes... all delicious, and to finish the star anise and cinnamon grappa! Very kind girls, lovely place. We will definitely be back.

Bravo these women who manage this refuge with commitment and passion!! You absolutely have to try their strudel full of apples! Keep it up
