Malga Fossernica di dentro
2.9About
Malga Fossernica di dentro sits at 1785m in the Brenta Dolomites, on the plateau between Lago di Sorapis and the Tre Cime massif. Reach it from Cortina d'Ampezzo via the Tre Croci Pass trailhead. The walk from Passo Tre Croci takes 2.5 hours, climbing steadily through beech forest before opening onto high pasture. This is an alp—a working summer dairy—not a mountain hut in the traditional sense, so facilities are basic and hours are limited to daylight.
The malga operates as a restaurant and refreshment stop from June through September. Expect fresh milk, cheese, and simple food made on-site. Overnight stays are not available. The setting is high pastoral ground with water sources nearby and views toward the limestone walls of the Brenta and Sorapis. The hut sits on the approach to several serious mountain routes, so it's useful as a lunch stop rather than a base for multi-day walking. The location works well for day walks around the plateau.
Go on a weekday in June or September to avoid crowds. July and August see heavy traffic from the Tre Cime circuit. The malga is cash-only (bring euros) and closes if weather is poor. There is no phone booking—just show up during operating hours. Parking at Passo Tre Croci fills by 10:00 on summer weekends.
