Rifugio Sass Bece In Canazei

Stopped here for water and avy bag and beacon check with maestro alpine guide CG, the views on the sun deck are magnificent. Lots of tourists come up here on the Gondola Sass Pordoi from Passo Pordoi. You ride above the fantastic couloir Forcella Pordoi which opens up onto this steep wide slope ending at Passo Pordoi or the road. The tourists download via the Gondola. See pic, folks from the plains having fun with music, beer, vapes, and guitars on the plateau but that’s as far as they can go, only off piste couloirs thereafter where you see skiers headed. There are no pistes up here, all backcountry chutes and canyons ie off piste extreme terrain, all require navigating a couloir at some point. Nothing easy, some are easier up top and extremely hairy in the exit, others are hairy in entry & easier exit and just everything is gnarly. Need an alpine guide who knows the terrain and avalanche bag is mandatory, playing with your life unnecessarily if without one.

Unfortunately it was snowing, otherwise you can enjoy the beautiful view there. The food is delicious and inexpensive. I ordered the risotto with green apple, it tastes interesting but good! The Schlutzkrapfen with spinach filling is highly recommended. Spaetzle and polenta are local specialties.

Ci siamo fermati per un caffè al volo e una tappa bagno. ☕ Il servizio è stato un po' strano, ma comunque veloce. ⏱️ Il bagno bello e pulito, in ordine. 👍 Voto: 🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽

Very kind waiters, very good food, honest prices

The refuge is very welcoming. The place is well-kept and the staff are friendly and helpful. We went up for breakfast on a particularly windy day, so we were almost alone. Honorable mention to the cream and meringue hot chocolate and bombardino. The view (of course) is fantastic in every season!

Dine here for the views, not the food! The dishes we ordered were just okay. The local dumplings were tasty but the other two main courses (meats) were mediocre. The polenta was straight up foul! Service was questionable… when we asked for dishes to share, they gave us just one plate.

Stunning location with a view of Sassolungo and Marmolada. Very good food and friendly waiters.

Esattamente l’atmosfera tradizionale che mi aspetto in un rifugio di montagna. Menù ricco di piatti tipici. Il fatto che abbia una vista quasi a 360º sulle montagne circostanti è un plus che si aggiunge.

Che meraviglia vedere Donatella che gestisce i suoi giovani ragazzi con un grande bel sorriso e tanta pazienza tra mille ordinazioni, richieste e clienti da gestire. Ambiente e cibo veramente gradevole. Complimenti! Consiglio vivamente. Un saluto a tutti e grazie a Rossella per la foto di gruppo. Piera Civiletti da Roma

W pogodny dzień warto podziwiać panoramę Dolomitów i Alp w tle.
