About

Filmoor-Standschützenhütte sits at 2,350m on the Carnic Alps, on the border between Italy and Austria in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The hut is reached from Sappada (1,250m) in about 4.5 hours on foot. Head south toward Passo Lavaredo, then take the marked trail climbing steeply through larch forest and alpine meadow. The final approach crosses open terrain with views into the Ghedina valley. Snow blocks the route from November through May most years.

The hut has 12 beds in four rooms, with a basic kitchen and small dining area. There's no electricity or running water—bring a headlamp and expect to use the outside toilet. The warden provides simple meals on request, usually polenta, pasta, and cured meats from local producers. This is a true mountain shelter, not a tourist facility. Opening dates depend on snow melt; confirm conditions before attempting the approach in late spring.

Book direct with the warden via CAI Friuli Venezia Giulia or call ahead to ensure someone is present. July and August see the most traffic; July weekends fill quickly. Plan to arrive before 16:00 to secure a meal. The hut works best as a base for crossing into Austria via Sella Chianzutan or for day hikes in the Carnic crest.

Basic facilities with 12 beds in four rooms; expect simple meals (likely pasta, soups, local cheese) but no showers—typical for high mountain rifugi at this elevation and size.
