A short and easy hike leads from the Cinque Torri Refuge to the Scoiattoli Refuge: both face the 5 Torri, a paradise for climbers from all over the world. The Cinque Torri refuge can be reached on foot or by car via the Great Dolomites Road SS 48: about 11 km from the centre of Cortina, in the district of Cianzopè*, turn left into a small road. At the Cinque Torri refuge, take path no.439. In less than 30 minutes you will reach the mountain saddle, from where you can see the Scoiattoli refuge. From the panorama terrace of this refuge, you can admire the mountaineers on the climbing walls of the 5 Torri; this refuge is also in close proximity to the 5 Torri Open Air Museum of WW1. The highly recommended visit to the museum, with its trenches and restored positions, takes about an hour.


* Please note: It is possible to reach the refuge Cinque Torri by foot from the Scoiattoli and Bai De Dones refuges, from the regional road SR48, Cianzopè district, from the Ponte Rocurto bridge and the Giau Pass -or by car via the road that branches off the SR48 regional road approx. 11 km from the centre of Cortina. The road to Cianzopè, a scenic route that invites you to explore on foot or by car to reach the Cinque Torri refuge, is always open and freely accessible. However, from June 16 to September 21, it takes a well-deserved break, closing its gates 24 hours a day. During this time, a convenient shuttle service is ready to whisk you away, available right at the heart of Cianzopè.
