About
Malga Fierollo di Sopra sits at 1747m on the eastern flank of the Brenta Dolomites, accessible via the Val di Non valley. The approach takes 2–2.5 hours from the village of Cles, following a steady trail through mixed forest that opens into alpine pasture. From Rifugio Nambino (1609m) the hut is a 1-hour push northeast. This makes it a natural waypoint for longer Brenta traverses or a base for day walks across the surrounding ridges and peaks.
The hut functions as a working alpine dairy (malga) during summer, offering simple accommodation and hearty meals centred on local cheese and cured meats. Capacity runs to roughly 50 beds in basic dormitories and a few double rooms. The kitchen serves dinner and breakfast; packed lunches are available. Water comes from reliable mountain springs. Opening runs late June through September, dependent on snow melt and weather. Winter access is on foot only if conditions allow—phone ahead to confirm.
Book direct by calling ahead, especially for weekends and July–August. July and August see steady traffic from Brenta hikers; June and September offer quieter conditions and reliable weather. The hut has no website or email booking system, so telephone contact is essential. Arrive with cash; card payments are not reliable in this remote location.
