The Luigi Gorza Refuge is a true paradise for sportsmen and adrenaline lovers!
In winter, it is the perfect resting place for those who want to test themselves on the most beautiful black slopes of the entire Dolomiti Superski, including the legendary Fodoma.
In summer, with its unique view of the Marmolada Glacier, it is a must for those who ride the Sellaronda MTB Tour, the Viel dal Pane trekking and the ‘Ferrata delle Trincee’.
Over the years, Luigi Gorza Refuge has witnessed in the development of the Porta Vescovo ski area from its beginnings under the leadership of the newly founded Sofma company.
During the building of the first ‘Arabba – Porta Vescovo’ cable car, inaugurated in 1971, there were already two prefabricated ‘L’ shaped buildings that housed the workers.
It was later decided to resume these early buildings to create the historic Porta Vescovo Refuge.
With the desire to enhance the ancient structure, thanks to the far-sightedness of the Gorza family combined with the vision of architect Nerino Meneghello, the Luigi Gorza Refuge was inaugurated in its current configuration in December 1996.
To complete the work, the roof of the panoramic terrace overlooking the Sella Massif and the connecting tunnel to the cable car station were built in 2013.
Today, when you enter the Luigi Gorza Refuge, you are fascinated by the modern lines that harmoniously and respectfully embrace the rough, black rock that has supported this historic refuge for more than 50 years.

Il Rifugio Luigi Gorza si trova proprio lungo il Viel dal Pan , il sentiero che collegava in antichità il Bellunese e le terre ladine per trasportare e vendere la farina per fare il pane (da qui il nome, che significa Via del Pane).
Lungo il percorso sarete accompagnati dalla vista immacolata della Regina delle Dolomiti e l'inconfondibile colore del lago Fedaia ai suoi piedi.
Immergetevi nella storia della Prima Guerra Mondiale in questa via ferrata adrenalinica e panoramica.
Dopo una breve camminata di 15 minuti dal Rifugio Luigi Gorza, sin dall'attacco della ferrata, la roccia ruvida e nera vi accompagnerà in tutto il percorso, tra pareti verticali, trincee, gallerie e un'impareggiabile vista sulla Marmolada e sul lago Fedaia.
Non solo con gli sci, il Tour della Sellaronda è percorribile anche in estate in sella alla mountain bike!
Grazie agli impianti di risalita, tra cui il Funifor Arabba-Porta Vescovo, il tour in senso orario vi riserverà poche salite e molti divertenti trail in discesa per scoprire le quattro valli attorno al Massiccio del Sella: Arabba, Val di Fassa, Val Gardena e Alta Badia.
Recentemente riqualificato grazie al lavoro svolto congiuntamente dai collaboratori di Funivie Arabba e dalla sezione C.A.I. di Livinallongo, questo sentiero parte proprio nei pressi del Rifugio Luigi Gorza.
Passo passo, potrete scoprire la storia geologica delle Dolomiti attraverso interessanti bacheche informative lungo tutto il percorso.
