About

Cabane de Susanfe sits at 2,110m in the Piedmont Alps, accessible via the Val Trompia from Collio. The approach takes 3–4 hours on a well-marked trail through mixed forest and alpine meadow. This makes it a solid base for day hikes into the surrounding peaks and a reliable overnight stop for longer ridge traverses.

The hut holds 71 beds across multiple rooms. Half-board meals are available daily; the kitchen also accommodates self-catering if you prefer. Water comes from the mountain spring. Winter closing is standard; confirm opening dates before travel. The custodian runs a straightforward operation focused on feeding hikers well rather than amenities.

Book directly by phone or email at least two weeks ahead outside peak season. July and August require 6–8 weeks' notice. Check whether the hut is affiliated with CAI, SAT, or AVS—membership often reduces nightly rates. Bring cash; card payment is unreliable in remote locations.
