Ricovero Jeluz
2.5About
Ricovero Jeluz sits at 1,519m in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Alps, accessible from the Predil Pass area. The approach via the Resia Valley takes roughly 2–3 hours on foot. Most hikers reach it from Tarvisio or via the Predil–Bovec trail system. Winter access is variable depending on snow cover and road conditions to the trailhead.
This is a small, working rifugio run by CAI with basic mountain shelter capacity. Expect bunk beds, a small common room, and simple meals prepared on-site. The hut operates year-round but is staffed seasonally (peak season June–September); check ahead for winter openings. Hot meals and drinks are available during staffed periods. Facilities are minimal—cold running water and basic toilets. Come prepared for mountain shelter conditions, not comfort.
Book directly with CAI via cai.it or contact the managing section in Friuli Venezia Giulia. July and August fill quickly; book 4–6 weeks ahead for these months. June, September, and early October offer better availability. Winter visits require advance coordination to confirm staffing and heating. Bring sleeping bag and liner—some rifugios require them anyway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book 2–4 weeks ahead for weekends and peak season (July–August); weekdays outside summer are usually more flexible. Contact CAI directly or check rifugio.net for current availability and rates.
Typically open June through September with full staffing; winter access is unreliable due to snow and road conditions in the Resia Valley, so confirm opening dates with CAI before visiting off-season.
Approach from Tarvisio via the Resia Valley or the Predil–Bovec trail system in 2–3 hours; the Predil Pass trailhead is the main starting point. Check road access to the trailhead beforehand, especially in winter.
Basic mountain shelter with bunk beds, a small common room, and simple meals prepared on-site; no private rooms or en-suite facilities—this is a working rifugio, not a hotel.
Better suited to experienced hikers and mountaineers; the 2–3 hour approach is manageable for fit families, but basic facilities and exposed Alpine terrain make it less ideal for young children or those seeking comfort.
