Passo Sella
2,180m
Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
About
Passo Sella sits at 2180m on the mountain pass between Val Gardena and Val di Fassa, in the Dolomites. You can reach it in 2–3 hours from Selva Val Gardena village, or via the Alta Via 2 trail system if you're doing a longer traverse. Mountain bikers use the pass as a junction point on established routes. The hut occupies a junction where multiple trails converge, so you can link it into day hikes or multi-day tours across the region.
The hut has 86 beds spread across the building. Meals are served daily during the summer season. Drinking water is available. WiFi is provided. The pass gets busy in July and August with families and mixed-ability hikers, plus mountain bikers stopping between stages. The hut operates as a staffed refuge during the summer months only.
Book directly with the CAI (Italian Alpine Club) by email or through rifugi.cai.it. Phone contact is also available. For July and August weekends, book 4–6 weeks in advance. Weekday slots in June and September are easier to secure. Email contact details are on the rifugi.cai.it listing.
