Ristorante Rifugio Capanna Cervino — Restaurant in Comunità di Primiero

The Capanna Cervino was born in the 1930s thanks to an innovative idea of a "ski school" by the local tourism pioneer Afredo Paluselli. Alpine guide and great lover of the Dolomites, Alfredo Paluselli, after having identified the place where to organize his ski school, the first ski school in the Dolomites, began to prepare in his laboratory in Ziano di Fiemme, the pieces that would give life to the Capanna Cervino, one of the first examples of prefabricated buildings. The name was chosen in honor of Cimon della Pala, nicknamed the "Matterhorn of the Dolomites". Thus, in 1931, the Capanna Cervino was born. Alfredo Paluselli, guided by his innovative spirit, began to offer his guests the first "holiday packages" including ski lessons, accommodation and food, transport from Paneveggio to Passo Rolle with private cars, establishing a sort of shuttle service, after having designed and created two ski slopes that from Passo Rolle through the forest of violins, reached Paneveggio. Here, customers could rest by having a tea in the hotel managed by Alfredo himself and then going back up to Passo Rolle. Customers, especially foreigners (Germans and English), were arriving in ever greater numbers and the Capanna Cervino gradually expanded its spaces to satisfy the ever-increasing number of tourists. Then came the war and post-war years where tourism was only a distant memory. Alfredo Paluselli in 1946 was forced to sell the Capanna Cervino to Mr. Dagostin of Cavalese, a timber merchant who gave it to Alfredo's brother, Giovanni Pauselli, who over time managed to redeem the property and manage it until the 1990s . In 1996 the Capanna Cervino was purchased by the Mich family from Predazzo. "Our commitment is to transmit the passion and values that our ancestors have handed down to us."
