About
Rifugio Alpino Guglielmo Pelizzo sits at 1,325m in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, accessed via the Natisone Valley. The hut serves as a base for hiking in the Julian Prealps. Reach it on foot from Cividale del Friuli in roughly 2.5 hours, following marked trails through beech and spruce forest. The approach is steady but not technical—suitable for fit day-hikers and those starting multi-day trips.
The CAI-managed rifugio offers 40 beds across shared dormitories. Hot meals and packed lunches are available for residents; the kitchen serves simple, hearty food. Showers and basic toilet facilities are provided. The hut operates year-round but staffing and services vary outside peak season—check ahead if planning a winter visit. The common room has a wood stove, useful when weather turns cold at this elevation.
Book directly by email with the CAI sezione di Cividale. Summer weekends (June–September) fill quickly; reserve at least 2–3 weeks ahead for July and August. Outside high season you have more flexibility, though autumn weekends can be busy with local hikers. Confirm opening hours and meal availability when you contact them, especially if arriving outside main season.
