The refuge is located at Passo Pura, 1420 meters above sea level, within the area of Ampezzo, in the heart of the Friulian Carnic Alps, and is just a short distance from Sauris. Its setting, next to a mountain hut and overlooking the open meadows of Pura, provides an authentic mountain atmosphere that is bright and panoramic.
A short walk from the facility leads to the charming viewpoint over Carnia, where one can gaze across the Lumiei valley and the Tagliamento valley, offering a wide and spectacular view. On the opposite side of the pass, the landscape reveals the Lumiei basin, with Lake Sauris nestled among the hills.
This area is perfect for hiking enthusiasts, featuring trails of varying difficulty and duration, suitable for both leisurely nature walks and more challenging routes. The refuge can be accessed on foot from Ampezzo via two hiking paths; during warmer periods, it is also reachable by a convenient road suitable for all types of vehicles.
