In this article, we discuss the Bruto Carestiato Rifugio excursion, an interesting route immersed in the Agordina valley of the Zoldo Dolomites.

The Bruto Carestiato Rifugio excursion is a pleasant walk through green valleys and dense mysterious woods of the wild Dolomites of Zoldo. The view is breathtaking, and ranges from the lush Val Corpassa which is protected by the imposing Civetta group, with its Venice and Trieste towers, to the rugged and jagged peaks of the Moiazza group.

The Moiazza Group is a mountain range of the Zoldo Dolomites and is located between the Civetta Group and the San Sebastiano-Tamer Group, between Agordo and Zoldo Alto. Its most impressive peaks are the Moiazza Sud, of 2,878 meters, and the Cima delle Sasse of 2,878 meters.

The element that most enhances the architecture of these wonderful valleys are the Tabià, buildings where they were once used as barns or stables, today they have found a new use. The oldest examples date back to the mid-1600s, typically made of wood on a stone base, with the typical blockbau system, where the trunks are overlapped and interlocked, or the standerbau system, in which the load-bearing trunks were placed vertically and those of support horizontally.

These typical buildings contained the kitchen, the stua and the rooms for milk processing on the ground floor, while in the upper part there were the bedrooms, accessible from the outside. In the back of the tabià there was the cattle and the barn. Today, these characteristic buildings of the Belluno valleys have been transformed into prestigious private residences or suggestive holiday homes.
