Rifugio Alimonta

Trentino, The Dolomites

A family-run refuge deep in the Brenta Dolomites, on the via ferrata routes.

Why we love it

The Brenta group is the Dolomites' odd cousin — west of the Adige, geologically the same limestone, and threaded with the via ferrata that were first strung across it a century ago. Alimonta sits in the middle of that network, family-run, and for many people it is the bed at the end of the hardest day of their walking week.

Rooms rather than only dormitories, which is rarer up here than you would expect, and worth booking early because everyone else has worked that out too.

Best for: the Brenta via ferrata, and the company of people doing the same
