Rifugio Sonino al Coldai In Zoldo alto

24/02/2025: 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".

19/01/2025: 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.
