The Refuge is located below the Forcella Piccola dell'Antelao, at an altitude of 2018, squeezed between the Antelao massif to the south and the Scotter peak (Marmarole) to the north, and is a stage point of the Alte Vie n.4 di Grohmann and n.5 di Tiziano.
The Galassi is the support point for all the main ascents to Antelao, a peak inhabited by hikers, mountaineers and ski mountaineers.
