The view is wonderful: the peaks of Trentino, Val d’Adige, Valpolicella and Lake Garda, Monte Baldo and all of Lessinia. The route winds through pastures and huts within the regional natural park and reaches Castelberto at an altitude of 1765m, the terminal point of the plateau. The refuge is a faithful reconstruction of a military building from the First World War and in the immediate surroundings there are still the remains of ancient trenches dating back to the Great War. Surrounded by the beauty of the mountains, we can admire a fantastic panorama and enjoy a typical cuisine made up of traditional dishes from the Veneto region. Dinner and overnight at the refuge.

An ideal place for the family where around a table you can enjoy malga gnocchi, ricotta and spinach dumplings, lasagnette with mushroom or truffle ragout and delicious homemade desserts.
