MMM Dolomites

I bought an expensive ticket to see all of the MMM museums, and have already seen all of them except this one, so I drove three hours out of my way to see this, paid for parking, and arrived to the shuttle area 5-10min before 4pm with the plan of taking the shuttle up and walking down after- only to be told there were no more shuttles up to the museum until 4:30, which is AFTER the museum stops letting people in. One would assume shuttles would run on whole hours if they do on the half, but apparently there was not a 4pm shuttle. This shuttle business is a scam! And being a 7km walk (or run) uphill, there was no way to make it by 4:30, even if I was a very fit runner. If the last shuttle going up is at 3:30, it would make sense to note that on your website and on Google maps! I guess this museum is not only in the business of fluffing up Messner's already ridiculous ego, but also scamming tourists (most of whom probably come because of a genuine interest in mountains and mountaineering). What a waste of money, gas, and time! In a perfect world, the museum would reimburse me at least for the parking and entrance ticket... Good thing I didn't fork over 12€ to the random guy at the shuttle kiosk before I asked when the next one was.

Hugely disappointed. There was so much potential for a rewarding visit but it wasn’t to be. A vast collection of paintings, photographs and artefacts but next to no supporting information unfortunately. Such a superb building steeped in history, none of which can be found on-site, had to resort to Google. With some simple changes, information boards and possibly some electronic media displays it could be a different story. Don’t avoid the shuttle/hike though, it’s absolutely stunning at the top.

Great view, even with clouds still worth the walk

Great museum, especially if you are a climber. Be aware that Google maps can not get you there because it’s up a road that’s closed to the public. You have to park at the Cibianna and walk up a 600m elevation gain hill or take a shuttle for 15 euros.

A museum on top of Monte Rite. It is an unique museum. To go there, we can take a shuttle bus that costs 9 euro per person or 13 euro for round trip. We can also take the hiking trail. The entrance ticket for an adult person is 8 euro. It's worth to visit. The view around it is stunning.

Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the museum despite our 2 attempts. Arrived at 15:45 but were told that it closes at 16:30pm (website says 5pm for June) and that the shuttle service makes a last trip to pick up last guests and museum staff just after 16:00. If we go up we would have to walk down and have only a few minutes to visit. 😤 They need to update the information on the website and/or clarify about the shuttle to avoid that others have the same big frustrations as we do now!! (an email was sent to them)

The view from this place are just unreal. What an amazing experience. I would love to go back in winter and see the difference! We took the shuttle up and down. There’s a small hime from were you get dropped off and the actual museum. The views are simply breathtaking. Can’t recommend it enough!!!

Amazing views!
