The Rifugio Nuvolau is located on top of the mountain of the same name, in a position that offers exceptional views across the many surrounding mountain groups. The refuge can be reached by an easy path from Rifugio Averau. This, in turn, can be reached by chairlift, from Rifugio Fedare, or along a trail, from Passo Giau (see specific hiking route).
