About

Rifugio Pian dei Ciclamini sits at 1,529m in the Carnian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Reach it from Forni di Sopra village via the Ghedina Valley trail—allow 2.5 hours for the 7.5km approach on a well-marked path. The hut works as a base for ridge walks toward Cima Nudo and loops through beech forest that shift to dwarf pine at higher elevation.

The rifugio has 40 beds across mixed dormitories and double rooms. Half-board (dinner and breakfast) costs around €50–60 per person. The kitchen serves straightforward regional cooking: pasta e fagioli, polenta with game, local cheeses. Hot showers are available (rare at this elevation). The hut operates year-round but staff confirm opening dates before visiting November–February. Mobile coverage is patchy; bring offline maps.

Book direct by email or phone—8 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. June and September are quieter and reliable for last-minute visits. The rifugio fills during school holidays and CAI group outings. Winter access depends on snow conditions; contact the guardian before attempting off-season visits.
