Welcome to
RIFUGIO
SCOTTER
THE TERRACE ON SAN VITO
WHERE ARE WE EXACTLY?
Our mountain hut is located at 1580 m above sea level, between the mountain groups* of Sorapìss, Antelao and Marmarole Occidentali, in the beautiful natural amphitheater surrounded by peaks such as Tajola (2485 m), Cima Bel Prà (2917 m), Scotter (2800 m) and Antelao (3264 m).
It’s a wonderful viewpoint over the Valle del Boite, mount Pelmo (3168 m) and the Rocchette - Croda da Lago group (2715 m). It is a crossroads for numerous routes and a starting point for lots of climbs and excursions.

AWAY FROM THE TRAFFIC,
CLOSE TO NATURE
Those staying at the Rifugio Scotter Palatini can enjoy the peace and quiet that only a mountain hut can offer, breathtaking sunsets, starry nights and the freshest morning air to breathe deeply, far from the worries and chaos of everyday life. For nature lovers, hikers, or cyclists, it’s the ideal place to spend the night and set off in the morning already at high altitude, ready to discover what the Cadore valley and Cortina D’Ampezzo have to offer. Whether for a pleasant, relaxing weekend or an entire week surrounded by nature and the atmosphere of the high mountains, while savouring excellent home-cooked cuisine with a modern, diverse, and tasty twist.

SLEEP IN A HUT,
EXPERIENCE THE MOUNTAIN
Our mountain hut offers a different overnight service compared to traditional mountain huts. Our guests can enjoy the pleasure of living in the heart of the Dolomites, at an altitude of 1580 m, away from the town centre but with the services of a small mountain hotel. We provide a private room provided with duvets and linens included, not just sleeping bags or sheet bags. The rooms are located on the first floor, most of them have a balcony overlooking the mountains, where you can sit and admire the outline of mount Pelmo at dusk and dawn, as well as catch a glimpse of the town in the valley below, which lights up in the evening with the lights of the houses. Bathroom facilities are distributed over the first floor in three private bathrooms equipped with a toilet, sink, and shower.

• Half board: 68€
