About
Malga Sarodül sits at 1955m in the Val di Fassa, Trentino-Alto Adige. Reach it from the Fedare valley in roughly 2 hours on foot from the road-end near Pozza di Fassa. The approach is straightforward and well-marked, gaining about 600m steadily through pasture and light forest. You can also access it from Canazei via the Sella Pass area for a longer, higher route if you're linking multiple valleys.
This is a working dairy farm that welcomes walkers and climbers. It runs as a basic rifugio with 30 beds in simple rooms. Meals focus on local cheese and mountain food—expect good ricotta, butter, and hearty pasta. The hut opens late May through October, weather dependent. Water comes from the spring. Showers are available. This place operates at working-farm pace, not resort tempo, so service is straightforward and portions are honest.
Book directly by phone or email well ahead for July and August. The hut fills with hikers crossing between the Dolomite valleys. June and September are quieter. Staff speak Italian and German; English is limited. Plan on cash payment or confirm card options when you ring ahead. The location makes it ideal for acclimatizing before higher peaks in the Sella massif or for breaking up a multi-day valley traverse.
