About

Rifugio De Marie al Volano sits at 1,428m on the slopes of Monte Volano in the Val di Fassa, Trentino. Reach it from Campitello di Fassa in 2 hours on marked trail 638, climbing steadily through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The hut makes a logical rest point on longer valley traverses or as a base for day walks to higher peaks in the Dolomites.

The rifugio has 50 beds split across simple rooms. Half and full board available; the kitchen handles vegetarian requests and packed lunches for early starts. Water comes from the mountain and the hut runs its own small hydroelectric system. Showers and toilets are basic but functional. Open June to September; winter access depends on snow conditions. The hut is managed by the SAT (Italian Alpine club for Trentino) and keeps the traditional rifugio standard—cheap, no frills, built for walkers.

Book 3–4 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. Reserve through rifugi.net or contact the SAT directly. The hut fills quickly during school holidays and long weekends in the peak summer months. Off-season (June and September) you can often turn up without notice, though ringing ahead is sensible.
