An isolated refuge built into a sheer rock face on a mountain peak in the Italian Dolomites is a sight to behold. Accessible only by hiking a perilous path on foot or helicopter, the refuge was once a military supply store and shelter from the elements during World War One and has been recently restored, putting this unique building back on the map.
The Buffa di Perrero refuge on the massif Mount Cristallo, in the midst of the Dolomite Mountains, was originally a refuge for the Alpini who fought against Austrian troops in World War One.
