Doss Alpine Style 2101m: a new goal
A tradition of hospitality
Fifty-six years of experience in hospitality and traditional cuisine. The Doss Alpine Style 2101m refuge has always been a landmark for skiers and hikers since the Pinzolo cableway opened in 1969.

A landmark
Over the years the lodge has been continuously renovated and expanded; in 1999 it was remodeled while always preserving the character and nature of the place. In 2002 our story began: with the purchase of the refuge, the management of the "Zodiac" company began, composed of members Roberto Serafini, Corrado Serafini, Daniele Bertolini, Sandro and Luca Ballardini.

Restyling 2023
In conjunction with the replacement of the 4-seater Prà Rodont - Doss del Sabion chairlift with the new 10-seater cable car, major expansion and complete restyling works were carried out during the summer of 2023.
Architecture
Alpine look
The alpine lodge’s design, conceived and crafted by architect Marco Casagrande, captures everything there is to love about the breathtaking natural landscape of the Dolomites. It combines wood with a distinctive architectural style, elegant and contemporary interiors, and a panoramic terrace where guests can admire sunrise or sunset over the mountains. The 2023 restyling brought the panoramic bar to life, created within the new extension overlooking the Brenta Dolomites. Spacious areas and large windows echo the surrounding landscape, offering a moment of relaxation while taking in the view. The restaurant, featuring dedicated table service in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, ensures a truly memorable dining experience for all guests.
Sustainability
Environmental protection
We particularly care about the mountain areas, the protection of their traditions, and the support of the people who live and work in the mountain. With this vision, we apply a simple but careful policy in the daily management of the lodge: reduction in the use of resources through continuous monitoring of water, electricity and gas consumption, rational and careful management in purchase, research and preference in buying zero-mile, organic, artisanal and quality products, involvement of guests in the awareness process, especially regarding water saving, careful waste sorting at the origin with related differentiated transport downstream.
Focus on sustainability
In order to reduce atmospheric emissions and ensure greater energy efficiency, the insulation of the existing masonry has been carried out, along with the replacement of windows with highly energy-efficient ones. Low-energy consumption and high-efficiency equipment have been installed for both heating systems and kitchen equipment. On the roof of the building, there is a 19 kW photovoltaic system which, due to its location and orientation, performs exceptionally well and contributes to energy consumption reduction.
We are a refuge LET'S GREEN
The future of the Earth is also in your hands: let's make the difference. "Let's Green" is a call to action to experience the mountains more consciously and build -all together- a better future for all. The main goal is to reduce and eliminate plastics as well as to increase awareness and educate residents and guests about virtuous environmental behaviors. Let's move together toward a future without disposable plastics. If you choose a plastic-free shelter you are already doing your part.
