The Carestiato Refuge (1,834 m) stands on the panoramic Còl dei Pass, at the base of the southern faces of the Moiazza. It was built after World War II thanks to a courageous initiative by the Agordina Section of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI). The project was largely supported by the Carestiato family, in memory of their young son Bruto (1921-1943), who died in the Civetta massif. Còl dei Pass, chosen for the refuge, was at that time accessible only by a path used by herds from the nearby mountain pasture: all the necessary materials were therefore carried on the shoulders of endless teams of volunteers who ascended from Passo Duràn. Later, the collaboration of the Alpine troops from the XXII Marzo 1848 Barracks, who intervened several times with their pack animal unit, proved providential. Only the framework was prepared by sourcing wood from the adjacent wooded area and transported to the hill via rudimentary cableways. Over the years, the refuge has undergone technical and structural modernizations to provide logistical assistance to its numerous hikers. The current access (trail 549) was completed in 1978 and subsequently expanded several times. A unique feature is the crossing of the enormous Val di Vie gravel flow, which often blocks the dirt road. The water intake for the refuge's aqueduct is located here, supplied by a modern pumping station. The old structure underwent a radical renovation in 2005-2006, bringing the refuge to a modern and efficient standard through the expansion and modernization of the sleeping accommodations, kitchen area, and outdoor terrace. These works began under the presidency of Giorgio Fontanive and were completed thanks to funding from the Veneto Region, along with funds acquired from the sale of the "Cesare Tomè" refuge at Passo Duràn. The Carestiato Refuge has 8 bedrooms, each with 4 bunk beds, and an additional 4 bedrooms in the annex at the back. From here, the view sweeps across the Agordina Valley and its surrounding mountains: Monte Célo, Monti del Sole, Vette Feltrine, and the Croda Granda-Agnèr mountain range. www.rifugiocarestiato.com

Malga Luna is located along the paths that lead to the Gurekian Refuge. It is an excellent place as an emergency shelter but also as a place to take a solitary and relaxing break.

Relatively easy to reach shelter in an impressive location opposite the Torre Trieste. The hut is run first class and the food is excellent.
