Enzianhütte - Rifugio Genziana
4.8About
Enzianhütte sits at 1,900m on the Passo Gazza in the Val di Non, Trentino. Reach it from the Malga Nara trailhead in roughly 2 hours on a well-marked path that follows open meadows and mixed forest. The hut also connects to longer ridge walks toward the Maddalene peaks. Start early if you're day-hiking from the valley floor—the ascent is steady but never steep.
The hut runs as a simple mountain refuge with around 40 beds split between private rooms and dormitories. Meals focus on local Trentino cooking: cheese, cured meats, hearty soups, and fresh pasta. The kitchen serves dinner from 19:00 and breakfast from 07:00. Facilities include a small bar, basic bathrooms, and heating. Water comes from mountain springs. The hut operates year-round but is busiest June through September.
Book by phone directly with the hut. Summer weekends fill fast—call 2–3 weeks ahead for July and August. Shoulder seasons (May, September–October) offer more flexibility. The hut is family-friendly and popular with Trentino hiking groups, so expect company on good weather weekends. Mobile signal is patchy; call from the valley if you can't reach them immediately.
