Rifugio Bajon

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Baion - Elio Boni refuge is located in the Baion - Col de San Piero locality, on the southern slope of the Marmarole, at about 1800 m above sea level, in the municipal area of Domegge di Cadore.
The building, built in 1892 as a malga for the montage of livestock, was renovated in the late 1960s and transformed into a shelter. It offers a panoramic view of the Centro Cadore Dolomites, the Spalti di Toro and the Cridola.

Pian dei Buoi Plateau

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Pian dei Buoi plateau represents a real landscape pearl of very high value, renowned throughout the Dolomite environment. The naturalistic value is amplified by the nearby presence of the Natura 2000 protected area, called "Marmarole, Antelao, Sorapis". The plateau also acquires extraordinary value from the widespread presence of artifacts from the Great War which, together, constitute the Parco della Memoria of Pian dei Buoi, and which have their most solemn representation in the forts of Col Vidal.

The four rings that make up the thematic / hiking trails and the church of the Madonna del Ciareido should also be mentioned, without forgetting the Baion-Elio Boni and Ciareido refuges (1969 m).

HOW TO REACH PIAN DEI BUOI
The narrow military road of the Genius begins upstream of the town and goes up the left side of the Val Longiarin for about 13 km with short stretches of dirt road. In the summer period (from 1 July to 31 August) access is regulated by the alternating direction of travel: only ascent 9.00-13.00, only descent 14.00-17.00, both directions in the remaining times.
