Excursions

Once you step off at the top station of the Costabella chairlift, you will find yourself in an area rich in panoramic trails and historic stops. The zone offers trekking and walks for all ages and skill levels: easy strolls for families, intermediate hikes, as well as expert excursions and via ferratas. Among the simple walks for families, a must-mention is the CAI trail No. 604, which leads to the Passo delle Selle Refuge (2,530 m). This oasis of peace among the mountains offers a 360-degree view of the surrounding Dolomites: the Costabella Ridge in the foreground, Cima Bocche, Cima Juribrutto, the majestic Pale di San Martino, Mount Civetta, and Mount Pelmo to the east, as well as the entire Monzoni Group, the Catinaccio Group, and the scree slopes of Val San Nicolò to the west. The walk takes about 45-60 minutes with an elevation gain of 250 meters. The refuge stands on the mountain pass that divides the green meadows of the San Pellegrino area from the wild Monzoni Valley. Just a very short distance from the top station is Baita Paradiso, a mountain hut renowned for its traditional Ladin cuisine and rich gastronomic […]

Costabella mountain refuges

As soon as you step off the Costabella chairlift, high-altitude hospitality awaits in the local mountain huts—unmissable stops combining the warmth of Ladin tradition with extraordinary panoramas. In these lodges, nestled between green pastures and rugged rocky ridges, the aroma of traditional dishes blends with the silence of the peaks. From the most accessible mountain huts and alpine dairies, perfect for families and food lovers to relax, to high-altitude alpine refuges perched on historic passes, every stop offers a unique atmosphere. Here, you can recharge after a hike, savor authentic homemade recipes, and enjoy the sun on panoramic terraces, surrounded 360 degrees by the vertical walls of the Dolomites.
