Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
About
Costa Baton sits at 1,731m in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region and serves as a base for hiking in the area. The hut is a 2-3 hour walk from the nearest road access; approach routes vary depending on your starting point. Confirm the exact trailhead and current conditions with the managing CAI section before departure.
The hut is a simple two-level structure. The ground floor stays open year-round with a stove, table, and sleeping space. The upper floor has 7 bunks and opens only by prior arrangement. There are no meals served here and no drinking water on-site—bring everything you need. Mobile coverage is unreliable and there is no WiFi. The hut operates as a staffed summer base, though access outside peak season requires coordination with the CAI section. Sleeping bags are essential; bring a mat too.
Book directly with the managing CAI section by email or phone—contact details are listed on rifugi.cai.it. Summer weekends fill quickly; book at least 2 weeks ahead for July and August. If you need access outside summer months, contact the section directly to arrange key collection and confirm the hut is safe to use. This is a working mountaineer's shelter, not a staffed refuge with services.
