About
Casera del Pian sits at 1,880m in the Carnic Alps, accessed via the Val Pesarina from Forni di Sopra. The approach hike takes 2.5 hours from the valley floor through beech forest and alpine meadow. The hut serves as a base for ridge traverses across the Carnic crest and scrambles to peaks like Cima dei Llops (2,424m). Winter access is difficult; plan visits between June and September.
The hut is a small mountain dairy conversion with 20 bed spaces in shared rooms. Hot meals focus on local specialities and hearty mountain food. There's a basic shower, composting toilet, and no electricity (gas lamps and wood stove). Water comes from a spring. The hut operates year-round but is staffed reliably only July through September; book ahead if visiting outside summer.
Book directly with the guardian by phone or email 4–6 weeks before arrival during peak season. July and August fill quickly. The hut accepts cash only. Expect basic comfort and genuine isolation—the trade-off for being genuinely far from crowds.
