Rifugio Dorigoni is located in a valley rich in water, waterfalls, lakes, alpine meadows and century-old larches. It is placed at the natural junction of four valleys: Val di Rabbi, Val di Peio, Val Martello and Val d'Ultimo and serves as a base for the respective crossings and for climbing the surrounding peaks.
The professionalism and courtesy of the Iachelini family, combined with the excellent cuisine you can find here, will make you fall in love with this hut.

ANTI COVID-19 RULES:
The starting point of the route is the Coler car park (1,386 m), reachable by car from Piazzola di Rabbi. In summer Val di Rabbi is closed at certain times and you can reach Colér by the shuttle bus service Stelviobus Rabbi. From the car park you will reach in about half an hour Malga Stablasolo (1,529 m)
200 m from the dairy a junction on the right offers the possibility to take the path to the Saènt Waterfalls. The route is extended by about 10 minutes, but it is worth it: you will enjoy all the spectacular and disruptive energy of the water.
If you are not interested, you can continue on the left to Malga Stablèt, visitor centre of Stelvio National Park dedicated to the world of the marmot. From here you will walk along a well-marked and signposted route for about 5 kilometres with SAT path 106 to Dosso della Croce (1,796 m), then to Prà di Saènt with its characteristic dairy. Continue, among the whistles of marmots, to Malga Vecla, where the "Alpinists' Path" leads to Palina (2,100 m). Skirting the left side of the Rabbies stream, through a landscape rich in rhododendrons, marmots and water, you will arrive at Rifugio Saent "S. Dorigoni" (2,437 m), where you will be welcomed by the warmth, professionalism, smiles and excellent cuisine of the Iachelini family.
You can return following the same route or you can choose a beautiful circular route.
Crossing the meadow below Rifugio Dorigoni, at the junction between the 106 and 128 signs, take the SAT path 128 to reach Baito della Valletta. At this point, keeping right, be careful and follow the path marked by stone cairns which leads to Baito Campisol Alto (2,432 m). The path, although not technically difficult, requires good eyesight to spot the cairns. From Baito Campisol Alto you descend to Malga Stablasolo (1,529 m), from where with SAT path 106 you reach the Coler car park (1,380 m).
