During the day this restaurant can be reached in just a few minutes by cable car, providing you with breathtaking views of the Dolomites, while in the evening (when the service is more attentive – things are faster paced at lunchtime) you have to arrange transport via snowcat. The name “refuge” refers only to the location as the cuisine is definitely that of a restaurant: although the menu features hearty mountain fare, it also includes modern options and a few fish-based recipes, including oysters. Last but not least, there’s a good selection of wines.

Rifugio Col Alt offers stunning panoramic views of the Dolomites from its 2,000-meter altitude. The cuisine features authentic regional dishes, with porcini risotto, deer ragout, and handmade noodles receiving high praise for their quality and freshness. However, some guests noted small portions or inconsistent standards. Service is generally attentive and professional, though chaos and billing errors occur during peak times. The ambiance is cozy with a terrace and glass veranda, but noise levels can be high due to closely spaced tables, and drafts from doors affect comfort. While the setting is spectacular, the experience varies based on timing and specific table conditions.
Ideal for skiers and hikers seeking dramatic mountain views and authentic Alpine cuisine, best visited during off-peak hours for better service.

Both the Berghotel Ladinia and its restaurant of the same name boast a warm, vintage Alpine-style ambience, with wood decor that tells the story of this business which opened as a simple inn back in 1930. Little has changed since then and guests return here time after time thanks to the warm welcome and attention to detail offered by the Costa family. The traditional cuisine has the occasional modern twist, while the few Ladin-style guestrooms are decorated with a profusion of wood.
