About

Rifugio Tenente Giuseppe Fabbro sits at 1796m in the Carnic Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The hut anchors itself in terrain that works as a base for ridge walks and approaches to higher peaks in the range. Access is typically from valleys to the south; allow 3–4 hours of hiking depending on your starting point. The route is well-marked but gains steady elevation through mixed forest and alpine meadow.

The rifugio operates year-round and holds around 50 beds in mixed dormitory rooms. Half-board is standard—dinner and breakfast are included with overnight stays, and the kitchen serves local Friuli fare. A small bar operates during opening hours. Showers and basic toilet facilities are available. The hut is staffed by a small team, so expect functional rather than elaborate amenities.

Book by phone well ahead, especially for July and August weekends. Phone ahead also to confirm opening dates in shoulder seasons (April–May, September–October), as staffing can be light. The hut does not manage an online booking system, so direct contact is necessary. Spring and autumn bring fewer crowds and offer stable weather for ridge traverses.
