Casera Valine
2.4About
Casera Valine sits at 1,328m in the Carnic Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia, above the Val Pesarina. Most hikers reach it from Pesariis in 2.5 to 3 hours on well-marked trails, gaining roughly 700m. The hut works as a base for ridge walks toward Cima di Monticello (2,104m) and Cima di Lastrucchi (2,088m). The Carnic ridge traverse passes nearby, making this a solid resupply point on longer mountain journeys.
The hut is a working alpine farm—expect basic mountain hospitality rather than a staffed rifugio. It offers bed spaces and meals (when the keepers are present), with simple facilities typical of remote Carnic huts. There is no running water; bring a water bottle and fill at the spring outside. The season is roughly June through September, though access depends on snow melt and the farmers' schedule. Confirm opening dates before you go.
Contact the hut directly or check with local CAI sections in Tolmezzo or Udine for current status and booking. Space is limited, so arrive early in the day or contact ahead in July and August. The hut keeps no website; ask at the Pesariis tourist office or call ahead through CAI Carnia (Tolmezzo).

Frequently Asked Questions
Book 2–3 weeks ahead for weekends and July–August; weekdays outside peak season often have space. Contact the hut directly or check rifugi.net for availability and rates.
Open June through September, weather-dependent; confirm current status before heading up as it's a working farm with variable staffing.
Start from Pesariis village (follow CAI signs); the trail climbs roughly 700m in 2.5–3 hours on well-marked paths to the hut at 1,328m.
Basic mountain farm accommodation with beds and simple meals; no shower or hot water—pack a washcloth and expect alpine hostel conditions.
The approach hike is suitable for fit families, but the hut itself is rustic; it works better as a resupply point on the Carnic ridge traverse or base for experienced hikers tackling peaks like Cima di Monticello (2,104m).
