This is a small station located about 7 kilometres from <strong>Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo<\/strong>. You can easily get there by car or by using the local <strong>skibus service<\/strong>, which runs regularly during the summer and winter seasons.<\/p><p>From <strong>Rio Gere<\/strong>, the ascent to the refuge involves two chairlift segments. First, take the <strong>Rio Gere\u2013Son Forca chairlift<\/strong>, which brings you to a plateau. From there, transfer to the <strong>Son Forca\u2013Forcella Staunies chairlift<\/strong>, which takes you even higher into the heart of the <strong>Cristallo massif<\/strong>. It\u2019s worth noting that this upper lift has been intermittently closed in recent years, so we recommend checking its current operating status before planning your trip.<\/p><p>Once at <strong>Forcella Staunies<\/strong>, take a short walk to the <strong>Guido Lorenzi Hut<\/strong>, located at 2,932 metres above sea level. Located between <strong>Cristallo di Mezzo<\/strong> and <strong>Cristallino d\u2019Ampezzo<\/strong>, the refuge is an important base for climbers tackling the <strong>Via Ferrata Ivano Dibona<\/strong> and the <strong>Marino Bianchi<\/strong> route. The hut is equipped with basic amenities, including a small kitchen, resting area, and emergency shelter, though it is often closed outside of peak hiking season.
