Just before reaching Rifugio Baita Cuz, on the left (on the way up), you will find signs leading to the beautiful “Punto Panoramico Maerins” [Maerins Panoramic Point], which you reach after a very short detour. Don’t miss it.

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Just downhill from the parking lot in Sauch, you can find the trail marked “Sot i Maerins”. You take the trail and climb, quickly gaining elevation, until you reach a meadow where there is a branch in the trail at 1820 m asl.
Here, you climb to the left and enter the woods. The trail climbs quite steeply, and then turns hard to the west, coming out of the vegetation.
Following the well-marked track, you reach the mountain hut, but not before taking the detour to Punto Panoramico Maerins, with a truly sensational view.
To return, you follow the same route backwards.
VARIATIONS
You also can reach the mountain hut with a short walk from the Pozza-Baffaure ski lift facility.
