About

Rifugio Fratelli Grego sits at 1,389m in the Julian Alps above the Resia Valley. The hut is reached from the village of Resia (650m) by hiking northeast through mixed forest for roughly 2 hours. The trail climbs steadily but without technical difficulty, making it accessible to fit hikers with basic mountain experience. The location works as a base for day walks across the surrounding Carnic and Julian ridges, or as a waypoint on longer traverses through the region.

The rifugio has 60 beds across multiple rooms and offers half-board and full-board meals. Cooking focuses on regional Friuli-Venezia Giulia dishes. The hut has hot showers, a small bar, and basic drying facilities. It operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk; check conditions before attempting a winter visit. The surrounding meadows and forest offer straightforward hiking in spring through autumn, with few exposed sections.

Book directly through CAI Società Alpina delle Giulie, the managing club, or through rifugio.net. July and August require booking 2–3 months ahead; weekends fill quickly year-round. The hut sits on a less-crowded route than major trans-Alpine trails, so advance bookings are essential only during peak summer weeks. Email or phone ahead to confirm availability and conditions, especially for small groups or off-season visits.
