Fendler Alm
4.8About
Fendler Alm sits at 1,980m in the Val di Fassa, Trentino. Reach it from Pozza di Fassa village (about 1,200m) via a straightforward 2-hour hike on marked trail 637. The path climbs steadily through larch forest and opens onto alpine meadow as you approach the hut. In summer, a seasonal mountain bike route also accesses the alp. The setting puts you within striking distance of the Dolomites' main ridges—Sassolungo, Passo Ghedina, and the Fanes plateau all lie within half a day's walk.
Fendler Alm is a traditional rifugio with 30 beds in simple rooms. Meals focus on Trentino classics: casunziei, speck, and hearty soups. The kitchen sources local milk and cheese from nearby dairies. Half board is the standard option. Water comes from a spring; solar panels supply supplementary power. Opening season runs late May through late September, weather permitting. The hut closes during heavy snow or maintenance periods.
Book through rifugi.net or contact the hut directly by phone. July and August weekends fill 8 weeks in advance. June and September offer better availability. Arrive before 5pm if you're walking in; the hut serves dinner at 7pm. Drying rooms and packed lunches are available on request.
