Bacherwandalm
4.3About
Bacherwandalm sits at 1620m in the Val di Non, Trentino-Alto Adige. Reach it from the village of Livo by hiking north through mixed forest and pasture for 1.5 hours. The approach is steady but never steep. Summer brings wildflower meadows around the hut; autumn transforms the beech forests copper and gold. Winter access depends on snow conditions.
This is a working mountain farm and small albergo rather than a staffed rifugio. The hut offers basic rooms and simple meals featuring local specialties—expect hearty fare tied to what the season provides. Space is limited to around 20 guests. Facilities are modest: running water, heating, communal dining. The real draw is the quiet. Trails radiate from here into the Val di Non backcountry and connect to longer ridge walks toward the Dolomites. Open year-round but service and accessibility vary outside summer months.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email before arriving. June through September demand beds 2–3 weeks ahead. Avoid August if you want solitude. The hut operates on its own schedule—confirm opening status if visiting shoulder season. Reach them through local tourism offices in Livo or nearby Cles if contact details change.
