About
Casera Bregolina Piccola sits at 1,850m on the Carnic Alps' eastern rim, in Friuli Venezia Giulia. Reach it from Sauris di Sopra via the Casera Bregolina Grande in 2.5 hours. The hut works as a base for day walks across high moorland and approaches to peaks like Monte Amariana (2,188m). Access is straightforward; the trail is well-marked and gains roughly 600m elevation.
The rifugio is basic but functional. It offers around 20 beds in shared rooms and serves meals from a simple kitchen—expect polenta, local cheese, and hearty stews rather than refined cooking. Water comes from the surrounding landscape; facilities are minimal but adequate. The hut typically opens late June through September, depending on snow melt and weather. SAT (Società degli Alpinisti Triestini) has historical ties to the area, though CAI manages the structure now.
Book through rifugi.net or contact CAI's Udine section directly. July and August fill quickly; aim for bookings two months ahead in summer. Late June and September are quieter. The hut is popular with base-camp hikers exploring the Alta Via 1 or cross-range routes, so expect a mix of overnight guests and day visitors. Bring a headtorch and check conditions before visiting—weather on the Carnic crest changes fast, and the hut can be snowbound into July in heavy years.

Yes for fit families and experienced day-hikers, but the lack of amenities and small size make it better for mountaineers accustomed to basic conditions than for casual walkers; it's ideal as a base for day walks across the moorland rather than a overnight destination for first-timers.
