Rifugio Dorigoni

My friend and I booked a 5 day walk through the region starting and ending at Refugio Dorigoni. With absolutely no expectations of the walk, refugios, alpine area (because we are silly Australians), we were just blown away and super impressed with this place. Cecilia, Lorenzo and the entire staff are such great people, the service amazing and have left me with such amazing memories. Simone (chef) would make the most amazing food each night. The best food I have tried in Italy so far. I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Will be back one day for another perfect experience Tyson- Melbourne, Australia

Outstanding ! A rarety ! The mountain spirit in a refuge as in the past. My best experience on a 3 week hike between Bodensee and Gardasee. I am rarely so laudatory so please keep it secret or tell it only to decent and respectful people. The recipe for such a miracle? Keep it small ! Small is beautiful ! It is a small refuge in a large green and desert valley with tumbling streams and torrents everywhere. The refuge remained small thanks to the remoteness, which allows sorting among hikers (no ski lifts) as well as supplies (by helicopter). It is quality first: of the site, of reception, of accommodation and meals, over quantity, without overcharging or overpricing, contrary to many refuges more accessibles ! Cecilia treats her guests magnificently. She takes time for everyone, she likes to talk about her job. In 2023, she was very well supported in the service by two kind and pleasant students and by an old lady and a kitchen helper. It felt like a family but not at all ! Best night of sleep (I was alone in the dormitory) and naturally, dinner was a treat: minestrone (or knodel), beef stew with mushrooms and puree, then tiramisu. Thanks a lot and please keep it like that !

The crew at Dorogoni were fantastic! They made me feel like family and I was genuinely sad to say goodbye! Everything at Dorogoni was 5 stars. The staff were extremely knowledgeable of the area and were more than happy to share that knowledge with us. The location is amazing, as were all the meals. The beds were very comfortable. And the rooms and common areas were very cosy as well. I couldn't recommend Rifugio Dorigoni more highly!
