Holidays in the Dolomites: mountain hut Fanes, near Cortina

Located in the heart of the Dolomites on an old military road which leads to Cortina d‘Ampezzo, the mountain hut “ Fanes” is enchanting place where one can relax and enjoy healthy food (the famous Grey Cheese is absolutely delicious!).
The whole area is redolent of age and history.

Here during The Great War, the Italians and Austrians fought each other and it’s not rare to come across poignant relics of those fierful battles.

The old owner of the place loves to tell people touching stories about those long years of war when the two sides shouted Christmas greetings to one another across no man’s land.
