About
Malga Fiamena sits at 2,020m on the eastern flank of the Lagorai range in the Trentino region. Reach it from Cavalese via the Val di Fiemme road to Passo Rolle (1,945m), then hike northeast for 2.5 hours to the hut. The trail climbs steadily through mixed forest and opens onto alpine meadows as you approach. You can also access it from Lago di Sorapis in the south via a 3-hour traverse across rolling terrain.
The malga operates as a seasonal refuge from June through September. It offers basic accommodation for 30 people in a mix of dormitory and small private rooms. Meals focus on traditional Trentino food—expect hearty pasta, local cheeses, and cured meats. The kitchen uses local dairy products from surrounding pastures. Drinking water comes from a spring near the hut. Facilities are straightforward: basic heating, no electricity in rooms, and pit toilets. This is mountain farming country, so the hut remains working agricultural land during summer.
Book direct by phone; contact details are available through the Cavalese tourist office or the Fiemme Valley hiking guides. July and August fill quickly—contact by May if you want weekend dates. The hut is remote enough that casual day-trippers don't swamp it, but it draws serious hikers tackling the Lagorai traverse. June and September offer more availability and fewer crowds.
