averau mountain

I go quite often in Cortina and i practice a lot of mountain sport. I simply love 5 torri area, i think Averau and Nuvolau are the most beautiful mountain, in all the seasons!You can't miss this place.

Gnocchis are unbelievable... Best in the world to me.The Appel strudle is delicateSweet service by a discrete and nice family.

We stayed for 1 night at the Averau this summer. On our three previous visits, we had eaten at the restaurant but this was our first overnight stay. It was great fun. The food is terrific. The room was nicely furnished and the bathroom was extremely good. The whole facility was renovated just a few years ago so everything is clean and fresh. Highly recommended. The surrounding area is sublime.

I cannot praise the Rifugio Averau too highly. My wife and I recently spent 7 nights there and it was fantastic. The staff are charming (thank you Max and Sandro), the rifugio is spotlessly clean, and the location is stunning. We were lucky enough to stay in Room 4 which has an ensuite bathroom and a balcony with glorious views. Dinner and breakfast were brilliant, and there is even a great wine list. The staff were so kind to us, we missed the last lift one day (we were travelling by car from another resort and needed to stop to put on the snow chains), and Sandro sent down the skido to collect us.A couple of practical tips. We had a hire car, which was useful, and probably the only way we would have had enough time to fly from the UK, collect skis and lift passes and get to the 5 Torri chairlift in time to catch the last chair up to Averau. You can park either at the 5 Torri chairlift (take SR48 out of Cortina for about 10 miles, there is a large (free) car park) or from the other side of the mountain taking the Fedare chairlift by taking the SP638 from Cortina to Passo Giau (probably about 15 miles). There is a beautiful circular ski route from Averau, but my only criticism is that the skiing you can reach directly from Averau is slightly limited.I would highly recommend Rifugio Averau to anyone wishing to skiing in the Dolomites, and to stay is absolute comfort in a stunning location.

my ski group and I stayed two nights at the Averau Riffugio - the beds were comfortable, the location fantastic and the meals were a delight

My wife and I recently hiked around Averau mountain starting from the car park at the Refugio Col Gallina. The views from the trails were magnificent . We followed trail 419 until it merged with 441, which we followed to Rifugio Averau. From here there is a great view of Cinque Torri. For our return, we took trail 440, although there are several alternate routes. This hike took approximately 4 hours with a fair amount of uneven and rocky portions. Overall an excellent hike with great scenic views

We arrived without a reservation which is, apparently, not a good idea but managed to get a table after a short wait and it was well worth it. This was undoubtedly the best mountain restaurant food that we have eaten in 25 years of skiing.

The pastas are sublime - think pheasant lasagne made on egg crepes or the classic local beet root ravioli with freshly grated parmigiana! A glass of house red and a view to die for - I've found my niche!I've skied in Cortina 3 times and eaten at Averau 6 times - the quality or welcome have never varied - can't wait to come back.....

with nice challet in its feet. Nice trek around this mountain.

Averau mountain is situated near Cortain. It is possible to get there via a bus or car using the road that goes up the Pocol hill.The mountain offers a day hiking trip of 4-5 hours of amazing moutain scenery. While it's not extremely dangerous there are some parts with narrow paths that requires to hold onto iron bars so I advise coming with something to tie yourself to the bars. It is possible to take a shorter route which is a bit safer but the scenery is not as amazing as the original route.At the summit of the mountain there is a small house. It is possible to have a drink or eat something there and even recommended.For more information on the route you may want to visit:http://italy.drakevision.com/english/days/seven.php.

L'Averau Mountain è il simbolo di Cortina d'Ampezzo che non è solo Piste Sciabili e Neve.Le Dolomiti sono delle Montagne maestuose e incantevoli e Cortina è una città molto ricca e piena di negozi.

bello anche se la neve latita, il problema e che da quelle parti puo succedere, certo la vista vale la gita e le foto ricordo si sprecano.

Un panorama meraviglioso che puoi godere alla fine di una via ferrata corta e facile. Dopo la ferrata devi seguire un sentiero sopra il ghiaione e arrivi sulla cima.

La punta dell’Averau è davvero una cosa unica.Una punta che quasi si protende verso il cielo.Un panorama a 360 gradi, che resteresti per ore ad ammirare se sei arrivato nella fortuna di una giornata di bel tempo.Spettacolare.

Partendo dall'omonimo rifugio si segue una traccia per ghiaie che porta all'attacco della ferrata, breve ma interessante. Può essere un piacevole test per chi non ha mai provato questa attività: la ferrata infatti, data anche la sua brevità, non mette a dura prova, ma risulta decisamente varia in funzione della sua lunghezza e quindi non banale. Presenta un passaggio non intuitivo senza grandi appoggi e la possibilità di provare l'esperienza di passare da un camino verticale chiuso (aggirabile per chi preferisce evitare).In cima alla ferrata ci si trova su un catino ghiaioso da risalire, mai troppo faticoso, quindi per facili roccette e tracce su ghiaia di arriva alla cime.Qui si gode di un grandioso panorama a 360°, data l'assenza di massicci vicini più alti, da cui si possono ammirare quasi tutti i massicci più celebri delle dolomiti, come Antelao, Tofane, Marmolada, Civetta, Pelmo, Sorapiss, oltre alle più vicine 5 torri, Nuvolau, Croda da Lago, Lagazuoi e molte altre cime che non sto ad elencare.Indubbiamente uno dei più bei panorami che io abbia mai visto in 13 anni di frequentazione di queste incredibili montagne!
