Refuge Conca Bianca

Rifugio Conca Bianca sits at 2,182m in the Val di Fassa, accessed from the Passo Fedaia (2,057m) in around 1.5 hours on foot. You can reach the pass by car from Campitello or via hiking routes from the Dolomites' main valleys. The hut serves as a solid base for day walks into the Fanes-Sella-Ra Gales massif and the high pastures above Val di Fassa. The final approach crosses alpine meadow with steady elevation gain but no scrambling.

The rifugio runs 80 beds across simple but clean rooms. Half-board is standard; the kitchen serves Tyrolean mountain food—casunziei, speck, and hearty soups. Shower facilities are available, though water can be limited in late summer. The hut opens from mid-June through September, weather permitting. Staff speak Italian, German, and basic English. The bar opens to day visitors, and you can camp outside in a designated area if the hut is full.

Book direct by phone or email 6–8 weeks ahead for July and August. The hut fills quickly on weekends during peak season. Arrive by mid-afternoon; the kitchen stops serving at 19:00. The Strada delle 52 Gallerie hiking route passes nearby, making this a practical overnight stop for that multi-day traverse. Winter access is unreliable due to snow and avalanche risk.
