TORRE DI PISA

The Rifugio Torre di Pisa is the only refuge in the Latemar Group and it takes its name from a nearby rocky spire, which looks like the famous leaning tower of Pisa. It’s a small hut clinging to the rock on Cima Cavignon 2,676 metres above sea level, and is accessed along a path that is also trodden by the sky runners competing in the “Latemar Vertical Kilometer”. The reward for those who get to the top is admission to the magical (and legendary) world of the Latemar with its pinnacles and walls of pale coloured rock.

Open
From June 20 to September 30
For the 2016 summer is confirmed only food service because the refuge is under restructuration
Before leaving for your hike, always contact the manager to verify the actual opening of the mountain hut

Walks
The walk up to Forcella dei Campanile takes 1 hour (difficulty E) and rewards with fantastic views. The Forcella is the start of the “Campanili del Latemar” via ferrata, which requires experience and via ferrata kit (1 ½ hours, difficulty EEA). From the Refuge you can also climb Cimòn del Latemàr, the highest peak in the group (2,846 metres), not a particularly difficult ascent, but it requires mountaineering skills.
