Due Giorni con Astronomitaly — Osservazione astronomica alle 5 Torri

Under the darkest sky in the Dolomites

Due Giorni con Astronomitaly is an astronomical observation event that takes enthusiasts to an altitude of 2,416 metres, at the Rifugio Averau, near the famous 5 Torri in Cortina d'Ampezzo, in the province of Belluno. Here, far from the city lights, the night sky reveals itself in all its depth.

Two days with Astronomitaly

The initiative is organised in collaboration with Astronomitaly, the network that certifies and promotes the best Italian locations for stargazing: Rifugio Averau boasts the GOLD certification from Astroitalia for its stargazing experience. Two days of activities allow for the observation of planets, stars, and deep-sky objects guided by experts, in a context of high-altitude natural darkness that is hard to find elsewhere.

An experience between sky and Dolomites

The charm of the event lies in the union of astronomy and mountains: the setting of the 5 Torri, one of the most beloved rock formations in the UNESCO Dolomites, serves as a natural backdrop for observing the firmament. To fully enjoy the experience, an overnight stay in the refuge is recommended, allowing you to savour the deepest hours of the night under an exceptional starry sky.
