About this place
Admiring the Sappada valley and the Dolomite panorama from the terrace of Refuge 2000 is an indelible memory for those passing through or staying in the area. The hut is an excellent base for a day trip to the Olbe Lakes or Mount Lastroni, crossing World War I fortifications. For those who want to relax, the hut has a sauna; for sportsmen, it is located at the end point of the ski slope, as well as being a hub for many mountain-bike routes and a base for paragliders.

Why visit it
01.
In winter and summer
On sunny spring and summer days, the shelter and views are outstanding. In winter, with the snow-capped mountains, the view is even more impressive. Priceless is being there with few people around and enjoying the silence of this enchanted place.
02.
The terrace on Sappada
From the hut’s panoramic terrace, the Sappada basin surrounded by the Dolomite theater, in which many important peaks can be seen, can be clearly distinguished. Why not relax on a deck chair in the sun admiring these peaks?
03.
Hiking, sports or relaxation
The solarium and sauna, the Dolomite panorama and more. Refuge 2000 accommodates sportsmen, such as skiers, mountain bikers and paragliders, and hikers, with trails suitable for everyone or longer, more challenging paths.
Landscape
The hut stands out sharply against the sky in the rarefied air at 2,000 meters above sea level.
Both in summer and in winter, the view of the peaks is stupendous: one can admire, among others, Mount Tuglia, M. Cimon, Creta Forata, Creton di Culzei and Creton di Clap Grande, Mount Ferro, M. Lastroni and, finally, gaze back down to the ridge of Mount della Piana, on which the refuge itself stands.
Itineraries and routes
Refuge 2000 is not only a place to relax, it is also a focal point for hikers of all levels.
Starting with short walks, such as the one to the summit of Mount della Piana, longer routes can be forked, such as the one to reach the Sorgenti del Piave refuge. Wonderful is the visit to the Olbe lakes, less than an hour away. Other beautiful hikes, among many others, include the summit of M. Lastroni, with exploration of the forts from the 15/18 war, and the elevation trail to the Monte Ferro refuge which can also be done in a loop.

Shelter 2000 has 27 beds, divided into rooms, including double rooms, with a maximum of 5 beds. Sheets and towels are provided free of charge.
The restaurant is a la carte self-service and also offers burgers and cheeseburgers.

THE VIEW AND PANORAMA OF THE VILLAGE OF SAPPADA
The Sappada 2000 chairlift
The dizzying chairlift ride from Sappada to the refuge makes the day even more lively. The chairlift consists of 2 sections, with a gearbox at 1655 m elevation. During the summer, the chairlift is an ideal choice to avoid the long and strenuous walk uphill. Surely it is more fun to climb the steep rock face with the 2-passenger cable car, which literally climbs up the mountain, and conserve your strength for the beautiful hikes that can be done at high altitude. The opening schedule of the chairlift varies every year in both summer and winter, and sometimes it operates only on weekends.
- Departure: daily from early July to about early September and from early December to March
- Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
- Cost: 8 one way, 10 round trip
