About
Rifugio Guido Corsi sits at 1,874m in the Carnian Alps, above the Val d'Arzino in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The main approach climbs from Sutrio village (about 850m) in 3.5–4 hours via a well-marked path through beech forest and alpine meadow. Most hikers use this route as a base for traversing the ridgeline or pushing to nearby summits like Monte Zermula (2,161m) in 1.5 hours.
The hut runs as a full rifugio with 60 beds in mixed and private rooms. Meals are available both half and full board. Kitchen facilities are available for self-caterers. Water comes from a spring. The refuge opens year-round but is quietest November to March—winter access depends on snow conditions and you should phone ahead. Mobile signal is patchy.
Book directly by phone or email through the management. July and August require reservations 6–8 weeks ahead, especially weekends. The hut is popular with local CAI and SAT groups on weekends, so expect company. Weekday visits in shoulder seasons (May, September, October) offer better solitude. Pay in cash or by bank transfer.
