About
Malga Cogorna sits at 1,667m in the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino National Park, reached via the Val di Riga from Paneveggio village. The standard approach takes 1.5 hours on a well-marked mule track through forest and meadow. The hut works well as a base for ridge walks across the Pale di San Martino, or as a lunch stop on longer traverses linking the Passo Rolle area to the Valsorda.
The rifugio operates year-round with 30 beds in small rooms and dorms. Meals focus on Trentino specialities: casunziei, speck, and local cheeses. The kitchen provides packed lunches for early starts. Shower facilities are available. The location on open pasture means exposure to afternoon thunderstorms in summer—descend by early afternoon or plan to stay. Wi-Fi and phone signal are unreliable.
Book direct with the hut by phone or email. July and August fill quickly; aim to reserve 4 weeks ahead for peak season. June and September offer better availability and less crowded trails. The access road to Paneveggio is seasonal; check conditions before driving in winter.
