About

Ricovero Casera Nischiuarch sits at 1,187m in the Julian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia, deep in limestone terrain favored by scramblers and peak baggers. Reach it on foot from the Sella Nevea area—expect 2 to 3 hours depending on your starting point and fitness. The hut serves as a base for traverses of the Kanin Plateau and approaches to Monte Canin (2,587m). In winter, access requires mountaineering equipment.

This is a small, no-frills refuge with 6 beds spread across basic sleeping quarters. You bring your own food and cook in the self-catering kitchen. Water is available on-site. There is no gas, no warden, no meals provided. The hut functions year-round for those with proper experience and gear, but is most practical May through October when snow is gone and the approach is straightforward hiking.

Book through the managing club (check cai.it or contact Sezione CAI Trieste directly for current access protocols). In July and August, even a 6-bed hut fills: contact them 4 to 6 weeks ahead if you need guaranteed beds. Outside summer, you'll often find space, but always confirm water availability and access conditions before setting out. Bring a stove and all supplies—there are no shops nearby.
