Rifugio Lagazuòi is situated in a pass near Cortina in the Italian Dolomites. It is a hostel with restaurant, rooms and dormitories.
Lagazuòi is the starting point for a nine kilometre long downhill slope in a valley towards Armentarola. There is no ski lift in the valley - instead you must go by taxi to Passo Falzárego and use the cabin lift to Lagazuòi.
If you want to see sunset and sunrise you must stay at the hostel, as you are not allowed to ski after sunset. But you can be one of the first skiers on the slope the following morning.
