Emilio-Comici-Hütte - Rifugio Emilio Comici
2.7About
Emilio-Comici-Hütte sits at 2153m in the Sexten Dolomites, on the approach to Ra Gusela and the Paternsattel. Reach it from the Paternsattel trailhead near Cortina d'Ampezzo: hike 2.5 hours via the marked trail through alpine meadow and rocky terrain. The hut is also accessible from Auronzo in around 3 hours. The position puts you well-placed for summits in the Tre Cime massif and ridge walks across the eastern Dolomites.
The hut offers 30 beds split across shared rooms. Half-board and full-board options are standard. The kitchen produces solid mountain food—expect hearty pasta, local cheeses, and straightforward meat dishes. There's a basic bar area and a terrace with views across to Ra Gusela. Water and toilet facilities are basic but functional. The hut operates year-round, though expect reduced services and possible closures in November and April.
Book by phone direct to secure your place, especially for weekends and July-August. The hut can fill quickly on clear-weather weekends when climbers use it as a staging point for early starts. Midweek visits in June and September offer more flexibility. Confirm opening dates if traveling outside summer months.
