Rifugio Fonda-Savio

Rifugio Fonda-Savio (German: Fonda-Savio-Hütte) is a mountain hut of the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI) located in the Cadini group of the Sexten Dolomites, in the municipality of Auronzo di Cadore, Italy. It is operated by the CAI's Trieste section and is named after three brothers, Piero, Paolo and Sergio Fonda-Savio, who fell during the Second World War. The brothers were the sons of the partisan fighter Antonio Fonda-Savio and his wife Letizia Svevo, daughter of the writer Italo Svevo. The hut is easily reached as a day excursion and serves as a base for numerous climbing routes; it is also used as a stage point on hikes through the Sexten Dolomites. Approaches include the trail from the hikers' car park above Misurina on path no. 115 (about 500 metres of ascent, roughly 1 hour 40 minutes), the route from the Auronzo hut (2,320 m) via the Bonacossa path (2 hours), and the connection to Rifugio Città di Carpi (2,110 m) via the Durissini path (3 hours). Among the tours based at the hut are the Via Ferrata Merlone to the north-eastern Cadini peak (4 hours), the classic climb on Torre Wundt (2,100 m) at grade IV, and the Giro dei Cadini high route (Forcella Nevaio – Forcella Verzi – Forcella Maria – Forcella Cadin Deserto – Forcella Sabbiosa – Forcella della Torre Grande, also known as the Sentiero Durissini), a rewarding but strenuous 4–5 hour itinerary. The hut maintains a bilingual web presence in German, Italian and English, with bookings handled by e-mail and contact via telephone, Facebook and Instagram. Its official site is built with the Jimdo Creator website builder.
