Hut Al Cacciatore

Turn-by-turn directions

 The Brenta Dolomites, about 195 milion years ago, looked completely different. Look where you are, where you're walking: into the rocks you can find real fossils dating back to the prehistorical period, in which the sea covered this area. An easy and pleasant walk from Rifugio Al Cacciatore brings you to this fascinating world.
