Baita Folgorida

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.
