About
Rifugio Tita Piaz sits at 1,417m in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, accessed via the Val Fontananafra. The most direct approach from Passo Ghedina takes 2.5 hours on foot. The hut works as a base for day hikes into the surrounding limestone ridges and as a waypoint on longer valley traverses. The terrain is steep in places but well-marked.
The rifugio has 30 beds across simple dormitory rooms. Meals focus on regional mountain cooking—expect hearty pasta, local cheeses, and vegetable soups. The kitchen prepares packed lunches. Water comes from a spring. The hut operates year-round but staffing is seasonal; confirm availability before winter visits.
Book direct by email or phone. July and August fill 6–8 weeks ahead. Shoulder seasons (May–June, September–October) book 2–3 weeks in advance. Weekends are busier than weekdays. The hut prefers advance notice for group bookings over 6 people.
