Ricovero Resartico
1.2About
Ricovero Resartico sits at 908m in the Julian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia, roughly 2 hours' walk from the Sella Nevea trailhead. The approach follows established paths through beech and conifer forest, gaining steady elevation without technical difficulty. The hut makes a logical base for day hikes across the Predil Pass region and routes into the Kanin Plateau.
The rifugio operates as a small mountain shelter with basic sleeping capacity and a kitchen for preparing meals. Water is available on-site. The season runs May through October, though weather above 900m can shift fast in shoulder months. This is genuine refuge shelter, not a commercial lodge—expect simple conditions and self-catering capability.
Book directly with the managing body or through the local CAI section. Numbers fill quickly during summer weekends and July holidays. Arrive with food and fuel if you're planning to cook; supplies from the valleys require advance planning. The hut's modest size makes it ideal for small groups or solo hikers wanting solitude, less suitable for large parties.
