Rifugio Sonino al Coldai In Zoldo alto

We stayed here as part of our hike on the Dolomites High Route 1. Unfortunately, the hut didn't really impress us, and that has nothing to do with its age. The dining room is very, very noisy. After a strenuous day of hiking, it's unfortunately not particularly comfortable to sit in. Perhaps some curtains, rugs, or panels on the ceiling would help?! Furthermore, the food ordering system is questionable. Only one person in the hut could take care of it. With a full hut, it took a correspondingly long time and dampened the spirits of the hungry guests. Furthermore, a lot of waste was produced during the meal, as absolutely everything (oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, ketchup, mayonnaise, etc.) was served in small portions. We know how difficult it is to bring things like food to a hut in the middle of the mountains, but here I would like to appeal to the environmental aspect, because a good solution can definitely be found for these things, also in the interest of the environment. The rooms were small and damp. Since we were there during a heavy rain, a lot of water leaked in through the window frame. The staff didn't seem to be new to the issue. It also felt like there were too many people at the hut for the restrooms, as there were constant lines outside. The sunrise the next day was somewhat reassuring, as it, along with the view, was magnificent.

We drank a coffee and walked for 2.5 hours to Piani di Pezze

The room was really tiny, but sufficient for an overnight stay. The premises are clean. You can hear absolutely everything in the rooms, but after 10 pm it was quiet everywhere. Dinner was really plentiful, the food could easily have lasted me the whole day. However, the wait to order food was over 45 minutes. The view is amazing!

They are very friendly at this Refugio and very accommodating towards dogs. Allowed us into the restaurant with our dog and gave her sausage.

We stopped for one night with two families, four adults and five children. We all shared a clean and tidy dormitory. The bathrooms were fine. The service and food were fine. The staff were welcoming and the location was fantastic. Breakfast could be improved, but when you're surrounded by such beauty, everything becomes a small detail.

Completely disorganized service. Unfriendly personnel. To avoid.

The young, very friendly and helpful staff offer generous, tasty dishes and a spectacular view! They also have gluten-free bread!

A lovely, undemanding walk starting from the Palafavera parking lot. The refuge is a great place to recharge. Service is good and fast despite the crowds, and prices are fair. From here, it's a 5-10 minute walk to Coldai Lake.
