Rifugio Gian Pietro Talamini In Vodo cadore

We arrived at this refuge from the village of Zoppé di Cadore. A beautiful walk of, more or less, 5 km. Very quiet forest road, without effort, a beautiful up and down. The path intersects between woods and open spaces, a small "village of huts" and many deer tracks in the snow. Truly 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. All very good, the canederli are exquisite, as is the melted cheese. But in addition to the good food, friendliness and cordiality are a very welcome "side dish".

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

It's the first time I've eaten at this refuge, the room is not very big and it is advisable to book. There is 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, even if I can understand that in the winter season it is not easy to heat an environment in the high mountains.

Super. Friendly service, excellent eggs, speck and potatoes and a great 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
