About
Rifugio Alpini Passo Nota sits at 2,051m on Passo Nota in the Brenta Dolomites, between Madonna di Campiglio and Val Rendena. Reach it via the Val Rendena approach in 2.5 hours from Carisolo, or from Madonna di Campiglio in 3–3.5 hours. The trail is well-marked but involves steady climbing, particularly on the final section to the pass. Snow lingers until mid-June most years.
The refuge operates year-round and sleeps around 60 guests in mixed dormitories. Meals focus on local Trentino cooking: expect hearty pasta, polenta, and game dishes. The hut has running water, basic heating, and a small common room. Facilities are functional rather than luxurious—bring a headtorch for the shared bathrooms. The location makes it ideal for multi-day traverses of the Brenta, particularly hikes to Rifugio Dodici Apostoli or Rifugio Tuckett.
Book by phone directly with the hut. July and August fill quickly; aim to reserve 4–6 weeks ahead for peak season. June and September offer better availability and fewer crowds. The hut stays open through winter but verify conditions before attempting a winter visit. Half-board (dinner and breakfast) is standard; packed lunches are available on request.
