Since 1970 the Rifugio is a pride to the CAI section of Mestre, particularly thanks to the great display of volunteering and altruism which happens every year. Around 100 associates alternate with each other for weekly shifts without any kind of salary, giving their time to manage the structure all summer long. A special board in the section is dedicated to the management of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, economic and administrative issues and shifts planning. The Rifugio is opened from the beginning of June until late September and can host up to 100 people.
