About
Rifugio Monte Talm sits at 1,093m in the Carnic Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia, a solid base for day hikes and ridge walks in the Tagliamento valley. Reach it from Sauris di Sopra by trail in 2.5 hours, or from Forni di Sopra in 3.5 hours. Both routes climb steadily through beech forest and mountain pasture. The hut is accessible year-round and works well as a waypoint on longer traverses linking the lower Carnic peaks.
The rifugio offers 40 beds in simple rooms and serves home-cooked Friuli mountain food. Expect hearty soups, local cheeses, and cured meats sourced from nearby villages. The hut stays open most of the year except during occasional winter closures. Facilities include hot water, a small bar, and basic drying space for wet gear. The terrace faces south across forested ridges—useful for breakfast before early starts.
Book directly by phone or email. July and August fill quickly; aim to reserve 4–6 weeks ahead. Weekends year-round see decent traffic from local hikers. The hut manages itself independently rather than through CAI, so contact them directly for current opening dates and meal arrangements.
