Details
The Scarpa–Gurekian refuge is located on the slopes of Mount Agner, a torpedo of vertical-walled rock, clearly visible at the edge of the Pale di San Martino Mountains, a sentinel of the Agordina Valley.
On the other hand, Mount Agner, a name perhaps little known to hikers, features a vertical wall on its north face, which places it at a level of the highest prestige in terms of climbing in the Dolomites and beyond.
We will reach the Scarpa – Gurekian hut and the adjacent Malga Losch hut , which are located at an altitude of 1735 meters, right at the foot of the southern slope of Mt. Agner.
The start of our hike will be from the hamlet of Frassenè, on the road going up from Agordo in the direction of Cereda Pass.
We will ascend with snowshoes (or crampons if the trail should be well-trodden) through woods and grasslands created by an old ski slope, decommissioned many years ago. This will allow us to do most of the trail facing the sun and enjoy some beautiful snowy slopes where we could have fun on the descent!
Our destination will be the refuge, an outstanding panoramic balcony to the south, with the vertical walls of the Agner behind to the north.
Difficulty level:medium/engaging; depending on snow conditions, the amount of effort required will vary.
If the snow will be particularly compact, the use of crampons instead of snowshoes may be sufficient.
Height difference 650 meters approx.
A good level of training and habit of walking in the mountains is required.

Who's your guide??
In dolomiti Beat we are all AMM Certified by the College of Alpine Guides of Veneto, to guarantee you maximum safety and professionalism and think only of your enjoyment!
A lifelong lover of Sports, the Dolomites, the Alps, the Pre-Alps and the outdoors, I decided at age 40 to change my life and follow my passion: to enable people to experience the Mountains with pleasure.
In 2019 I added a new piece to my education by completing the Medium Mountain Guide Course and enrolling in the Veneto Regional College of Mountain Guides.
The greatest satisfaction I receive in accompanying an individual or group is for me, the opportunity to convey my enthusiasm and passion for this outdoor world to those who do not yet know it, or those who want to know it better.
I think the mountains can be experienced in a variety of exciting ways, all of which are correct and all of which have many merits: from the tranquility of a relaxing hike that makes us better savor the excitement of each step, to the speed of moving quickly from peak to peak.
So, here I am, I have become a mountain professional and provide my expertise to accompany you on mountain excursions, both in the Veneto and around the World, always guaranteeing your safety.
As a lifelong sports enthusiast (FIDAL instructor technician), I am also available for trail running, MTB or E-Bike routes from the foothills of the Alps to the Dolomites.
Not forgetting my experience in the company as an employee!
Precisely because I felt that this was not my path, I welcome corporate team building requests with empathy and a particular propensity for group dynamics, because the outdoors facilitates positive relationships.
