Casera Tragonia
2.5About
Casera Tragonia sits at 1760m in the Julian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia, accessed via the Predil Pass approach or from the Resia Valley. Most parties hike in 2–3 hours from the valley floor. The location works as a base for ridge traverses and peaks in the central Julian range, or as an overnight stop on longer mountain routes.
The rifugio is small and deliberately simple. It has 14 beds across mixed dorms, plus one private room. The kitchen provides half-board meals; bring your own breakfast supplies or arrange dinner in advance. Water comes from the spring. There's no electricity or heating beyond the stove. The hut operates year-round but is most reliably staffed June through September; confirm availability for shoulder seasons before departure. This is a working mountain refuge, not a hotel.
Book directly by email or phone as far ahead as possible. July and August fill fast; contact 6–8 weeks before if you have fixed dates. The hut can accommodate small groups but will turn you away if full. Confirm your arrival time and meal requirements when you book. Winter access depends entirely on snow conditions—ring ahead before heading up in cold months.
