Rifugio Bosi al Monte Piana

The base for visiting the Monte Piana open-air Great War museum.

Rifugio Maggiore Angelo Bosi stands at 2,205 metres on the Monte Piana plateau, a place of profound historical significance between Misurina and Val di Landro. This area was one of the most bitterly contested fronts of the First World War in the Dolomites and is today a vast open-air museum: trenches, walkways and gun emplacements are still clearly visible on the plateau, while inside the hut a small museum holds objects, documents and photographs that tell the story of the fighting on these heights. The combination of historical memory and open views over the surrounding summits gives this destination a unique character among Dolomite huts.

It is reached on foot from Misurina along the old military road that climbs Monte Piana, or by the organised shuttle vehicles that make access to the summit plateau easier. The kitchen serves traditional mountain dishes, perfect for a break between visits to the wartime sites. With around twenty beds, the hut allows you to stay overnight and explore the open-air museum and historical trails at your own pace, along itineraries of varying length. Spending the night at the Bosi means immersing yourself in the memory of the Dolomite front, where history and nature are intertwined in a deeply moving way.
