Berti Mountain Hut
The Berti Mountain Hut, located at the southern end of the Popera Valley, is dedicated to Antonio Berti, nicknamed Cantore delle Crode (the Bard of the Peaks) due to his passion for exploring and writing about the Eastern Dolomites. The refuge is surrounded by imposing walls including those of Croda Rossa, Cima Undici and Monte Popera and is a stopover along a variant of the Alta Via no. 5. It serves as starting point and as one of the points of interest in the circular “Talking Thematic Trail” Anello del Popera.
