About
Oberseite Alm sits at 2,035m in the Val di Fassa, accessed via the Contrin Valley from Campitello di Fassa. The approach takes 2.5 hours on a well-marked trail that climbs steadily through larch forest before opening onto alpine meadow. Snow blocks the route above 2,000m until late May most years, so confirm conditions before going in spring. Summer access is straightforward hiking; winter mountaineering approaches require crampons and ice axe competence.
The hut sleeps 50 in simple shared rooms and serves three meals daily. The kitchen focuses on hearty Ladin dishes—casunziei, speck, local cheese. Water comes from mountain springs. Full hot showers are available. The hut operates June through September, with limited winter weekends by arrangement. Staff speak Italian, German, and basic English. Bedding and towels are provided.
Book directly with the hut 4–6 weeks ahead for July and August weekends; June and September have more availability. Contact via the SAT (Società degli Alpinisti Trentini) management office or request details from the Fassa Valley tourist office. Payment by cash or bank transfer. The hut is popular with mountaineers heading toward the Fedare peaks and traverses of the Fassa-Carezza ridge system. Arrive by early afternoon to secure your place and eat with the group.

Open June through September for summer operations; winter access requires mountaineering skills and pre-arranged logistics. Confirm opening dates as snow conditions vary year to year.
Start from Campitello di Fassa, follow the Contrin Valley on a well-marked trail to the hut at 2,035m—2.5 hours of steady climbing through larch forest and alpine meadow. Avoid late May and earlier due to snow; confirm route conditions before spring trips.
Simple accommodation in shared dormitory rooms (50 beds total), with meals available; check with the hut directly about showers, as mountain huts often have limited or no hot water.
Yes for summer hiking—the 2.5-hour approach is steady but non-technical. Not suitable for families with young children or those unfamiliar with mountains in winter; winter mountaineering access demands crampons, ice axe, and Alpine experience.
