Minazio Carlo
2,250m
Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
About
Minazio Carlo sits at 2250m in Val Canali, reached from the valley in around 4 hours on foot. The hut serves as a base for hiking in the Trentino-Alto Adige limestone peaks. Access is straightforward but exposed in bad weather.
The hut is a simple timber and metal structure with 12 beds split across two zones. Emergency places bring total capacity to 24. There is no staffed catering, but a spring lies 10 minutes' walk away for water. The hut operates year-round but is staffed only during summer months. Winter visits require self-sufficiency. No WiFi.
Book direct via rifugi.cai.it or email the manager. Phone contact is available. Summer weekends fill 6-8 weeks ahead. Winter access depends on snow conditions—contact ahead to confirm the hut is accessible. Bring a stove and fuel if you plan to cook. The nearest valley supplies are at least 4 hours away.
