The refuge was built by the alpine guide Lorenzo Lorenzi, who still runs it together with his family, and it has breathtaking views over the 5 Torri area.
Rifugio Mietres offers a 360° view on the Dolomites of the Ampezzo Valley and a menu of simple, traditional dishes like canederli, casunziei and platters of cheese and cold cuts, with particular attention to the seasonality of the ingredients.
