Suru cabin

If you have decided to venture towards the ridge, then Cabana Suru (1450m alt.) is a must-see landmark. You must always keep in mind that this hut is a ridge hut, meaning that it has a special regime between huts. What does this mean? I will tell you right away. Ridge huts were built, some more than 100 years ago, with the role of constituting the base camp in mountain explorations. Back then, in the absence of ultra-light equipment, those venturing on the ridge needed support in storing equipment, supplying food, informing about the weather and snow conditions, the situation of wild animals in the area, the condition of the trails and their signage, etc. I mean, until recently, the cabin keeper of such a cabin was a kind of single point of information, hosting and help for the ridge tourist....this tradition has not completely died out and the usefulness of the cabin keeper is still felt even over GPS, weather channels, weather satellites, video cameras, fauna statistics and other daily information...due to something that he will probably remember as an asset forever....the unrivaled mountain experience and the perfect knowledge of the area. For this reason, it is good to try to stop by the ridge cabins on our high-altitude roads and to stop at least for a tea on our way, even if we do not feel the need to recharge our batteries.
