Open from June 20th until the beginning of October
The
Baita alle Cascate can easily be reached from Pozza di Fassa, passing
through the San Nicolò Valley, one of the most spectacular valleys
of the Dolomites.
It is a very easy walk, that does not require any particular effort,
suitable for children and grown-up people as well. The excursion offers
enchanting views of a still intact nature. Flowery meadows, with thousand
colours, encircled by the most beautiful mountains of the world: Cima
Undici e Cima Dodici, the Monzoni Group, the Costabella, Cima Uomo and
Col Ombert. Surrounded by a romantic and at the same time wild atmosphere,
we shall reach in a short time the Baita alle Cascate. You will never
forget the scenary that appears before your eyes. In a pleasant hollow,
under a silver mountain, many little falls of pure water gush out. Here
rises the Rio San Nicolò, the stream that flows through the San
Nicolò Valley. Only a short way away, situated on a green meadow
in the sun, here is the Baita alle Cascate. Mr and Mrs Bernard will
welcome you. In the open air or in the intimate little hut you will
gave the opportunity to taste some typical, very tasty dishes: polenta
(thick maize porridge) served with mushrooms, local cheese and sausages
and, for people who loves sweets, blueberries, raspberries and high
mountain's cream. In this corner of heaven you will relax in the sun
and take some little walks in the surroundings of the fall or rest at
the hut before starting a more difficult excursion towards Passo San
Nicolò, Contrin Valley, Ciampac and many other destinations.
How to reach us:
From Pozza di
Fassa (at the end of via Meida) you go on (if you like by 
car)
through the San Nicolò Valley to Ciampiè (the name of the place 5 kms
far from Meida) at 1826 m. Here the road ends. 
This
road is open to the vehicles only up to the end of June. But during
the rest of the summertime you have anyway the possibility to drive
as far as Mezzaselva (2 kms far from Ciampiè). From Ciampiè a very simple
path will take you to the Baita alle Cascate in 40 minutes. If you like
you can follow a second itinerary to reach us. You drive to Mezzaselva,
park the car and follow the road "Strada dei Russi", a nice
walk through the wood.
