YOUR RETREAT PLACE IN THE HEART OF THE DOLOMITES
Nestled in the breathtaking and steeply sloping peaks of the Sesto Dolomites, wild and secluded, the small Büllelejoch refuge offers the peace and solitude that you often miss in everyday life. During the day it is a paradise for mountain lovers, in the evening silence returns.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Supply: Due to the remote location of our shelter, the delivery route is very long.
We use a helicopter, a small off-road vehicle, a quad or, in case of bad weather conditions, just a backpack.
Energy: Off-grid solar hybrid system, diesel generator
Heating / cooking: Wood and gas
Water: Small spring with collecting basin - usually very little water available. Waterless compost toilet for day guests.
Waste water: Three-chamber purification plant. The contents of the last chamber are pumped out at regular intervals and transported by helicopter to the sewage treatment plant.
Why UNFORTUNATELY do we have to use plastic bottles?
Glass bottles take up much more space (no storage options, empty bottles). The weight is much higher (we would have to make many more trips / flights to take them to the shelter). We try to avoid plastic in the valley as much as possible and are happy if our guests do the same. It is much easier to respect in the valley than in the mountains and together we can make a big difference!

KITCHEN
The Pian di Cengia Refuge is located on the Italian-German linguistic border. This represents a cultural, linguistic and not least culinary enrichment.
On our menu you will find typical Tyrolean dishes such as dumplings and Kaiserschmarrn, but also polenta and the much-loved spaghetti. Hikers can refresh themselves by enjoying one of our hot dishes throughout the day.
For Greti and Niki it is essential to offer our guests excellent cuisine.
All dishes are prepared in our kitchen. We are very keen to use the products of our region as much as possible.
SLEEP
In our shared bedroom, 15 tired hikers can spend the night. Due to the few places it is MANDATORY to book them. In the evening we offer a choice of menus (Tyrolean and Italian cuisine) and a fresh salad buffet. In the morning there is a rich breakfast buffet.
The use of a sleeping bag is mandatory (it can be purchased locally if required).
Due to the lack of water, we do not have a shower, but hot water for washing.
As this is a private accommodation, CAI discounts are not applied. Credit card payments are not accepted because the refuge is not connected to telephone lines or to the electricity network.

ALPINE CLIMBING
Cima Dodici (Croda dei Toni), Cima Uno, Monte Paterno, Tre Cime, and others. The history of climbing has been written between the walls of these mountains. Many of the climbs have now become classics, the dream of every mountaineer. In the footsteps of the historical guides of Sesto Innerkofler, Schranzhofer, etc. Daniel Rogger, who grew up on Pian di Cengia, and his colleagues from the Tre Cime Mountaineering School carry on the great tradition and accompany you on the most beautiful alpine itineraries and on the peaks of the Sesto Dolomites.
