Refuge Forestale Casera Feletta

Casera Feletta sits at 1,205m in the Julian Alps of northeastern Italy, deep in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. Reach it from the village of Resia (750m) via a 3–4 hour hike through mixed forest and meadow. The trail is well-marked and steadily uphill without technical difficulty. For winter access, approach from Bovec in Slovenia via the Predil Pass, though snow can close this route January through March.

The rifugio is a simple, functional forestry hut with 20 beds in shared rooms. It serves basic meals and drinks during opening season. Facilities include running water and a wood stove. This is a working facility run by the Friuli Venezia Giulia forestry service—expect minimal comfort but genuine hospitality. The hut opens June through September; shoulder seasons depend on snow and staffing. It works well as a base for day walks across the Julian crest or as a stage on longer ridge traverses toward Fusine or Saissera.

Book directly by phone or in person at the hut; it rarely fills completely outside July–August. July and August weekends require advance notice. The hut has no website; contact the Resia tourist office or call ahead to confirm opening dates and current management. Late June and September offer quieter conditions and reliable access.
