About
Baita Folgorida sits at 2,287m in the Brenta Dolomites, above the Val di Genova. Reach it from Pinzolo in 3 hours via the Sella di Campiglio trail, or from Madonna di Campiglio in 2.5 hours—both routes climb steadily through larch forest then open pasture. The hut marks a junction for traverses into the Brenta group and provides direct access to routes on Cima Tosa and Cima Brenta. Winter approaches become technical; spring conditions vary widely.
The hut operates year-round with 50 beds across mixed dorms and small rooms. Half-board is standard; the kitchen handles vegetarian meals and can accommodate dietary restrictions with advance notice. Water comes from a mountain spring. There's no shower, no electricity in rooms, and no mobile signal. The guardian lives here full-time and maintains the hut to CAI standards. Winter stays require self-sufficiency and awareness of avalanche risk on approach slopes.
Book directly by phone or email at least two weeks ahead. July and August fill completely; plan for June or September if you want flexibility. Easter week and autumn weekends (late September through early October) also draw crowds. Winter visits need coordination with the guardian—the access road closes, so approach on foot only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book 2-3 weeks ahead for weekends and July-August; weekdays and shoulder season can often be booked a few days out. Contact the hut directly or use rifugio.net and cai.it for reservations.
Open year-round with year-round staffing. Winter access is more technical and avalanche risk increases; spring conditions are highly variable, so check conditions before traveling.
From Pinzolo: 3 hours via the Sella di Campiglio trail; from Madonna di Campiglio: 2.5 hours. Both routes climb steadily through larch forest then open pasture to 2,287m elevation.
50 beds available; standard rifugio meals and drinks provided. Confirm shower availability when booking, as mountain huts vary in hot water access.
Good for experienced hikers with mountain fitness; the approach routes are long but non-technical in summer. Not suitable for beginners—winter and spring access requires mountaineering skills and avalanche awareness.
