Rifugio Boé
5.0About
Rifugio Boé sits at 2,873m in Val de Mesdì, in the Dolomites of Trentino-Alto Adige. Reach it from the village of Canazei: the approach takes roughly 3 hours on foot via established trails. The hut is accessible year-round on foot or skis, though snow conditions dictate winter feasibility. Mountain bikers can access it from the valley floor via longer routes during summer months.
The hut has 69 beds plus 6 emergency places. It serves meals daily during summer season (staffed June through September). Water is available from the spring. WiFi works reliably here—unusual at this elevation. The building itself dates to the late 1800s and has been expanded multiple times. The setting is stark alpine terrain with minimal vegetation, typical of high Dolomite elevators. Winter visitors find the hut open but unstaffed; bring food and fuel if staying overnight in the cold season.
Book directly by email or phone through rifugi.cai.it. For July and August, contact the hut 2-3 months ahead. July weekends fill fastest. Off-season (May and September) books open but are quieter. Winter stays require advance coordination since nobody is present.
