The Oltradige / Überetscher Hütte mountain hut enjoys an extremely panoramic position over the Adige Valley. Its easy access makes it suitable for families with small children or strollers, who can have fun in the playground in 20 minutes of comfortable walking. From its terrace overlooking the valley you can admire in their entirety the Dolomite groups of the Latemar, the Pale di San Martino and the Marmolada, the entire Lagorai chain up to the Cima d'Asta group. The original structure of the refuge has remained intact, dating back to 1913, so as to offer the hiker the experience of visiting a "Refuge of the past". It is a reference point for the ascent to the highest peak of the Mendola group through the Roen via ferrata which starts near the refuge. It is an easy-to-follow aided path, particularly suitable for the first approaches to the Dolomite via ferrata. The refuge can also be reached by mountain biking and EMTB through wooded and panoramic paths, where, with a little luck, it will be possible to spot herds of chamois.
