About
Rifugio Pradut sits at 1,440m in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Alps, on the hiking routes through the Tagliamento valley. You reach it on foot from Sauris di Sotto (90 minutes) or from the Passo della Mauria trailhead (2 hours). The approach is steady but not technical—well-marked paths bring you through beech forest to open pasture near the hut.
The rifugio offers 35 beds across simple rooms. Meals are home cooking: pasta, polenta, stews, and mountain cheeses. Breakfast, half-board, and full-board are all available. The hut has no hot shower but provides washbasins and toilet facilities. It opens year-round, though some winter weeks may require advance notice. This is a working mountain hut, not a lodge, so expect basic comfort and friendly staff who know the local trails intimately.
Book by phone directly with the hut. July and August fill fast—aim for 4–6 weeks ahead in summer. Outside peak season, 1–2 weeks is usually enough. The hut attracts local hikers and those doing multi-day valley traverses, so weekends are busier than weekdays. If you plan to stay multiple nights, mention that when booking; they'll help coordinate your onward routes.
