The Carlo Valentini hut was built in 1884 on the old road which connected Val di Fassa with Val Gardena, the first refuge on the Sella Pass mainly giving hospitality to passing business men.

Even after the construction of the new road, slightly to the north, the warm family atmosphere never stopped feeding the caravans of passers by who wanted to visit the land of the Dolomites, fascinated by the panoramas offered by the generous local nature.

For four generations the hut has been modernized, from my great grandfather to my father. Carlo Valentini now has sleeping accommodation for 45 including bathrooms both en suite and adjoining on each floor.
The tradition of the mountains and climbing has found in this famous refuge the ideal departure point for excursions as well as for rock climbs in the Sella and Sassolungo groups, as it is situated just below these wonderful areas.
It can be reached by car 100 metres from the provincial road or else by foot in only 10 minutes from Passo Sella.
