About

Refuge Celso Gilberti sits at 1,850m in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Alps, serving hikers on routes through the Julian Alps. Approach it from the Predil Pass area or from valleys to the south. Most routes take 2–3 hours on established trails. The hut works as a base for day walks across high meadows and rocky ridges, or as a night stop on longer traverses.

The refuge holds 46 beds across multiple rooms. Half-board and full-board meals are available daily. Showers are on site—a useful amenity at this elevation. The hut opens year-round but operates with reduced services in winter; confirm opening dates before traveling in November or March.

Book direct by email or phone. July and August fill quickly; reserve 6–8 weeks ahead for peak season. Shoulder months (June and September) are less crowded but still worth booking 3–4 weeks in advance. Contact details are available through CAI (cai.it) or rifugio.net. Day visits are welcome but meals must be ordered ahead during busy periods.
