history
The Rifugio Coldai was opened in the summer of 1905 by the Venice Section of the CAI. Thanks to the financial support of the Sonino family, the hut was expanded for the first time just one year later. In 1932 it was renamed in memory of the alpinist Adolfo Sonino from Venice, who had had an accident two years earlier at Punta Fiames, north of Cortina d'Ampezzo , in the Pomagagnon group. In 1939, after the introduction of the Italian race laws , the CAI had to reverse the renaming. In autumn 1944 the rifugio was set on fire by German troops and units of the RSI during an action against Italian partisans . The hut was rebuilt between 1946 and 1948 and inaugurated under the name Rifugio Adolfo Sonino al Coldai . In 1972 and 1990 it was modernized and expanded again.
