Ricovero Casera Goriuda di sopra
1.5About
Ricovero Casera Goriuda di sopra sits at 1405m in the eastern Carnic Alps, in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. You can reach it from the Val Goriuda valley; allow 2–3 hours of steady hiking depending on your starting point. The hut sits deep in mountain pasture country, far from roads.
This is a small refuge with just 4 beds, making it useful as an emergency shelter or base for small groups. You have access to a self-catering kitchen, so bring your own food and fuel. There are no staffed facilities or prepared meals. The hut remains open year-round but you need to check conditions in winter. Water is usually available nearby but bring a filter or purification tablets.
Contact the AVS (Alpenverein Südtirol) or local CAI sections in Friuli Venezia Giulia for access details and current status. Keys are often held by nearby rifugios or local hiking groups. Book ahead if you plan to use it, especially in summer. This is a true mountain shelter for experienced hikers, not a staffed mountain restaurant.
