Casera Savoieit
2.4About
Casera Savoieit sits at 1,167m in the Carnic Alps, in the upland pasture country above Paularo in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The hut is reached from Paularo village in about 2 hours on foot, following marked trails through beech forest and open slopes. The approach is steady rather than steep, making it accessible for hikers with basic fitness. In winter, access becomes unreliable.
The hut operates as a simple mountain refuge with basic accommodation and food service during the hiking season. It offers dormitory beds and a small dining room where meals are served. Water and facilities are basic but functional. The hut closes during winter months and operates primarily from June through September, though dates vary year to year depending on snow melt and staffing. Call ahead before visiting in shoulder seasons.
Contact the hut directly by phone to confirm opening dates and book beds. The hut fills quickly on summer weekends, particularly in July and August. Book at least 2–3 weeks ahead for weekend stays in peak season. Half-board (bed and dinner) is standard. The hut sits on established hiking routes, making it a solid base for day walks through the Carnic ridges and towards higher peaks in the range.

Yes for basic hikers with reasonable fitness—the 2-hour approach from Paularo is steady and non-technical—but not ideal for young children or those seeking comfort; better suited to hikers seeking simple, unpretentious mountain experience.
