About
Rifugio Carlo Tassara sits at 1,802m in the Val di Non, Trentino. Approach from the village of Cles (470m) via the Sentiero Carlo Tassara trail—allow 3.5 to 4 hours for the 1,330m ascent. The path climbs steadily through beech forest and alpine pasture. In winter, access is often difficult or blocked; confirm conditions before heading up.
The rifugio has 40 beds split across multiple rooms. Half-board and full-board options are standard. Hot showers are available. Kitchen facilities are basic—this is a mountain hut, not a hotel. The hut operates year-round but is quieter November to March; staff presence varies in winter months. Cell signal is unreliable; bring offline maps.
Book directly by phone or email at least 2 weeks ahead outside peak season. July and August demand 4–6 weeks' notice. The hut gets busy on weekends year-round and during school holidays. Day visits are welcome if you arrive early and the hut isn't full. Pay in cash or confirm payment methods when booking.
