About
Rifugio Alpini fratelli Pedercini sits at 2,515m on the Paganella plateau in Trentino, a compact massif between the Brenta Dolomites and the Val di Non. Reach it from Andalo on foot in 2.5 hours via marked trail, or from Molveno in 3.5 hours. Most hikers approach from Andalo—the route is steep but direct. The hut works as a base for day walks across the plateau and scrambles to the 2,557m summit.
The rifugio holds 60 beds across simple rooms. Half-board is standard; the kitchen serves straightforward mountain food and local cheeses. Showers are available. The hut operates year-round, though expect reduced services in winter. The attached bar offers hot drinks and snacks throughout the day. Staff are friendly and the setting feels unpretentious—a working hut rather than a showcase.
Book by phone direct with the hut. Outside summer weekends, walk-ins usually find space. July and August weekends fill 4-6 weeks ahead. Avoid assumption of availability mid-July to mid-August without reserving. The hut is managed independently, not by CAI, so check current opening dates before traveling in autumn or winter. The phone line works best in morning hours.
