Casera Davass
2.4About
Casera Davass sits at 891m in the Carnic Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The hut is accessible from the Sella Nevea valley via the Sella Nevea–Casera Davass trail, a steady 2-hour walk through mixed forest and alpine pasture. You can also approach from the south via Forni di Sopra, adding another hour to the walk. The location works as a base for ridge traverses along the Carnic crest and day climbs to nearby peaks including Cima di Monticello (1,478m).
The rifugio operates year-round and sleeps around 30 guests in simple shared rooms. Half-board is available. The kitchen serves regional Friuli dishes using local ingredients. Water comes from a spring; facilities are basic but reliable. The hut is staffed by experienced mountain guides who offer route-planning advice for the surrounding terrain.
Book directly with the management or through the local CAI section. The hut fills quickly during July and August weekends; aim to reserve 4–6 weeks ahead for peak season. Spring and autumn offer quieter conditions with solid weather windows for ridge walking. Winter access depends on snow conditions—call ahead if planning a cold-season visit.

The hut operates year-round, though staffing levels vary; confirm opening dates and winter access conditions with the hut before visiting outside summer months.
The main route is 2 hours from Sella Nevea via the Sella Nevea–Casera Davass trail through forest and pasture; alternatively, approach from Forni di Sopra to the south in around 3 hours total.
Casera Davass offers meals, bunk beds, and basic shelter; confirm whether hot showers are available when you book, as facilities vary at smaller Friuli rifugios.
The 2-hour approach from Sella Nevea is suitable for fit families, but the hut serves primarily as a mountaineering base for ridge traverses along the Carnic crest and peak climbs—advanced hikers get more from it.
