Lovely mountain chalet near the main gondola at 2000m elevation. Once the lifts stop and the masses recede to the valley, this is a very peaceful and quiet place where you can enjoy beautiful mountain scenery and a wonderful summer climate (sunny but cool). Essentially, Alpe Cermis is a rather narrow ridge that leads to a popular "via ferreta," the so-called Cermiskyline. The hikes up to Refugio Paion are steep (unless you take the route combination 02/08/07, which is a 1.5-2hrs picturesque hike along a ridge), and you can expect too be in good company. But everybody is quite relaxed, and the Aperol Spritz and Strauben taste really well at Refugio Paion after a day hike :-)
