The Rifugio Averau, a rough-hewn cabin tucked dramatically under the rocky spears of the Averau peak, has a hostel-style dormitory where guests can spend the night and an excellent restaurant. With views of the pink-tinged peaks, settle down by the wood-burning stove for a dinner of house-made pasta, succulent lamb chops, speck-fried potatoes and deeply perfumed mountain bread.
