About
Capanna Re di Sassonia sits at 1,432m in the Julian Alps above Tarvisio, in the far northeast of Italy. Reach it from Tarvisio town by ascending the Monte Lussari trail. The hut lies 3–4 hours on foot from the nearest trailhead. Winter access requires skis or snowshoes.
The cabin holds 10 beds in simple mountain accommodation. Meals are available but advance notice is essential—contact the hut directly before arrival to confirm food service. Water comes from a natural spring. The hut opens year-round but remains unmanned in winter; in cold months, only self-service facilities are available. Heating is basic; bring a warm sleeping bag.
This is a working hut for hikers and mountaineers using the Monte Lussari traverse and Julian Alps routes, not a resort. Book through the CAI Tarvisio section via cai.it or contact them directly well ahead of your visit. Summer weekends and July fill quickly. Winter users need to arrange access with the managing club beforehand. Bring cash—card payment is unreliable at remote CAI rifugios in this area.
