Rifugio Scotoni

Set in a peaceful alpine meadow beneath the mighty Lagazuoi and Fanes peaks, Rifugio Scotoni is one of the most charming and beloved stops along the Alta Via 1. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, rustic wooden terrace, and famous grilled dishes, it perfectly blends comfort and mountain authenticity. Many of our Selfguided Dolomites Alta Via 1 itineraries include a stop or overnight here, offering hikers the chance to rest, refuel, and soak up the beauty of the Fanes mountains. Staying at Rifugio Scotoni is more than a break on the trail — it’s a genuine Dolomites experience in the heart of Alta Badia.
