I assume you can stay at the refuge too?

Of course you can ! I forgot to mention it the description.

It is a small Rifugio that only takes 24 people - the food and company are great though. Best Apricot Schnapps I have ever had.

Good to know, I stayed at the Rifugio Lagazuoi a few years ago, and love the surroundings there, something for next time :)

I led a group of Explorer Scouts along AV1 in 2016 and we stayed at several rifugi including Lagazuoi (great for sunrise pictures) that also has the highest sauna in the Dolomites.
