Oberissalm
4.8About
Oberissalm sits at 1,742m in the Val di Fassa, Trentino-Alto Adige. Reach it from Pozza di Fassa via the Fedare valley—a steady 2.5-hour hike on well-marked paths. The hut is a base for exploring the Catinaccio massif and connecting trails to Rifugio Auronzo and Rifugio Panarotta. Summer is best for hiking; winter access depends on snow conditions.
The rifugio sleeps 25 guests in simple rooms. Meals are traditional Trentino fare: pasta, polenta, local cheeses, and hearty mains. Vegetarian options available. Water comes from mountain springs. The hut opens late May through September, sometimes extending into early October. Phone ahead to confirm opening dates.
Book directly by email or phone. July and August fill fast—reserve 6 to 8 weeks ahead. June and September are quieter. The hut sits on a working Alpine meadow farm; respect grazing animals on the approach path.
