Transalp
The hut is a stop or refreshment point for all various routes of the mountain-bike Transalp Dolomiti.
On the most classic route, the stage starts from the Sennes, Fanes and Braies Natural Park and winds under the Tofane. Arriving in Cianzopè, the route begins to climb on a rather demanding climb in the shadow of 5 Torri.
Great War
During the First World War, the 5 Torriarea proved to be strategic for the operations of the Italian Army, trying to penetrate into Val Badia.
In this area the events of that sad period can still be experienced, among paths, trenches and the Open Air Museum of the Great War.
In front of the Averau Refuge there are also 4 information panels that tell the story and events in Nuvolau Forcella during the First World War.
