Ricovero Entralais
1.2About
Ricovero Entralais sits at 1,572m in the Julian Alps, accessed from the Sella Nevea area in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The hut is a small, basic refuge for experienced mountaineers working in the Ternova and Mt. Canin region. Approach takes 2–3 hours on foot from trailheads near Sella Nevea; routes are marked but exposed and require mountain sense, especially in poor visibility or winter conditions.
This is a minimal shelter with 4 beds and no amenities beyond basic protection. The hut has no guardian, no meals, no water supply—bring everything you need. It functions as an emergency refuge and staging point for mountaineering ascents rather than a staffed accommodation. Winter access is difficult; summer and autumn are the practical seasons.
The hut is managed by CAI Trieste. Contact the section directly for access information and current conditions before planning a visit. Do not rely on this hut as your only shelter on a multi-day trip unless you are equipped for a self-sufficient mountain camp.
