About
Casera Valinis sits at 967m in the Julian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the heart of the Resia Valley. Reach it from the village of Resia by hiking up the Val Malinfier trail; the walk takes roughly 2.5 hours. The hut serves as a solid base for ridge traverses and peak attempts in this less-crowded corner of the range. The approach is straightforward and well-marked, making it accessible to hikers with moderate fitness.
The hut offers basic mountain accommodation with capacity for around 20 guests in dormitory rooms. Meals focus on local Friuli cuisine and hearty mountain fare. Water comes from the spring nearby. The hut operates year-round but winter visits require advance notice, as staffing is reduced. Full services—kitchen, dining room, and basic toilets—run during the main hiking season from May through October.
Book direct with the hut by phone or email well ahead for July and August weekends. Contact them through CAI-affiliated local clubs or check recent contact details on rifugi.net. The hut fills quickly during peak season, so don't leave it to chance. Arrive early in the day if you're walking up, as the bar/dining area closes by early evening.
