Set in spectacular surroundings, the Cinque Torri refuge is situated at the foot of the south side of the 5 Torri. Inaugurated over a century ago, in October 1904, it is one of the area's longest standing historical structures. Since 1937 it has been run by the Alberti Lelo family.
A much sought after venue for several generations of mountaineers from around the world, it has hosted reigning princes from all over Europe, before and after the Great War, including, in 1916, King Vittorio Emanuele III himself, during his visit to the front to witness the explosion of the Castelletto mine.
