Ricovero Casera Turriee
1.5About
Ricovero Casera Turriee sits at 1555m in the Julian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Reach it from the Sella Nevea road by hiking 1.5 hours northeast through mixed woodland and alpine meadow. The approach is steady and well-marked, gaining 350m over broken terrain. Most climbers use this hut as a staging point for peaks in the Krn and Canin massifs.
The rifugio is a simple mountain shelter with basic sleeping accommodation and a small kitchen. It sleeps roughly 20 people in dormitory-style bunks. Meals are self-catering—bring your own food and fuel for the stove. Water comes from a nearby spring. The hut sits in a pastoral setting at the edge of pasture land, exposed to weather. Winter snows close it reliably from November through May. Summer and autumn climbing season runs June to October, though conditions vary by year.
Book directly with the managing group. Check current contact details and opening dates through AVS (Alpenverein Südtirol) or CAI regional offices before planning a visit. The hut can fill during July and August weekends, particularly if weather windows close climbing windows on higher peaks nearby.

Start from Sella Nevea road and hike northeast for 1.5 hours on a well-marked path, gaining 350m through woodland and alpine meadow; terrain is broken but steady.
Basic dormitory bunks for ~20 people, a small kitchen, and likely a supply of drinking water; expect minimal amenities—no shower, and meals depend on what's available or what you bring.
Better suited for mountaineers and experienced hikers than families; the 1.5-hour hike is manageable for fit beginners, but the simple shelter and remote location work best for those accustomed to basic alpine conditions.
