They were very friendly to hikers, offering free toilet access (though we still insisted on leaving a small tip). After climbing Monte Specie, we naturally ate here, and wow! The food was delicious and very affordable—a truly welcoming mountain cabin restaurant!
Wonderful place, delicious desserts

The refuge is accessible via a short walk from the parking lot. Spectacular views of the Dolomites. Perfect spot for cross-country skiing. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The menu is inviting, high-quality, and offers more than adequate portions: we tried the cold cuts and cheese platter, tagliatelle with game ragù, potatoes with egg and speck, and a slice of strudel. Everything was delicious! Reasonable prices. We'll gladly return to enjoy it in all seasons.

After a nice walk in Prato Piazza, we sat inside for lunch.
The food was excellent, and we found the staff very friendly. They're pet-friendly, so that's great! My wife had a huge, delicious homemade cordon bleu with an excellent horseradish sauce. My potatoes with eggs and speck were delicious. Well done to the kitchen staff.

We arrived at the refuge by car on a Saturday.
In Ponticello, there is a barrier and parking.
There are two options for the ascent.
The first is by car, before 10:00 a.m. or after 3:00 p.m., paying a €10 toll.
The second is by shuttle, costing €5.50 per person.
At the top, the view is spectacular.
A paradise for Nordic skiers and hikers.
A trail leads you on foot or with snowshoes to the Vallandro refuge, with another spectacular view.
Both refuges offer overnight accommodations, or they have a restaurant and bar.
We had lunch at this refuge and had a great time.
The perfect place to dine with a beautiful view of the amazing mountains.

We went up from Ponticello by bus, walked to the Rif. Vallanbro, returned and had lunch at the Rif. Prato Piazza, as always 5-star hospitality and service! ..... Return on foot to the stunning Ponticello

A beautiful mountain refuge with a bar and restaurant. Outdoor seating is ideal on sunny days, even in winter. Quick and friendly service, traditional South Tyrolean dishes, generous portions, and high quality.

Super friendly service. We popped in for a quick coffee but were left amazed by the owner's skill and kindness.
We went on December 23rd; the road was open and free, and parking was free. The view is stunning.
