Ricovero casera Cjariguart
2.5About
Casera Cjariguart sits at 1405m in the Carnic Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia, on the Italian side of the Julian Alps. You reach it from the hamlet of Sella Chiampero in about 1.5 hours on foot. The approach gains 300m steadily through mixed woodland. This is a working casera—a mountain dairy—so expect a working landscape rather than a manicured hut experience.
The rifugio sleeps 16 across shared rooms. There is a self-catering kitchen, so bring your own food and cooking supplies. No meals are provided on-site. A spring provides water. The hut typically stays open June through September, depending on snow and staffing. Heating and plumbing are basic. This is a refuge hut, not a full service rifugio.
Contact the Carnic Alpine Club (CAI Carnia) or check with the municipality of Ovaro for current access conditions and key availability. The casera is not staffed year-round and does not accept formal bookings through standard rifugio networks. Confirm opening status before you go. Winter access is not reliable.

Typically open June to September; as a working casera, hours and staffing can be irregular, so verify opening dates before your trip.

16 beds in shared rooms, self-catering kitchen only—bring your own food and cooking supplies; no meals provided by the hut.
The 1.5-hour approach and modest elevation gain suit fit families and hikers with basic mountain experience; the self-catering setup requires more planning than a staffed rifugio.
