About

Rifugio Ciampedie sits at 1,998m in Val di Fassa, accessible from Passo Costalunga via a 2-hour hike or from Vigo di Fassa in around 3 hours. The hut serves as a solid base for routes on Catinaccio and works equally well as a lunch stop on longer valley traverses. It's well-positioned if you're linking trails across the Dolomites rather than pushing for high peaks.

The hut holds 25 beds across shared rooms. Meals are served—expect simple rifugio food, nothing fancy. You can shower here, which matters if you're staying multiple nights. The building dates to 1912 but runs with basic modern comfort. It's staffed only in summer (roughly June through September), so check opening dates before planning. No WiFi, which is fine for a weekend away.

Book direct by email or phone through rifugi.cai.it. July and August fill 6-8 weeks ahead, so secure your bed early if traveling then. June and September are quieter and often more pleasant for hiking. Email is reliable; phone lines can be slow to answer during peak season.
