About

Rifugio degli Alpini di Vallio sits at 2,050m in the Brenta Dolomites, in the Val di Non region of Trentino. You reach it from the village of Vallio in about 2 hours on a marked trail through beech and spruce forest. The final approach steepens as you gain the last 400m of elevation. The hut is well-positioned for day hikes across the Brenta plateau and makes a solid base for traverses linking the main rifugios in the range.

The refuge has 60 beds across mixed dorms and double rooms, a small restaurant serving regional Trentino cooking, and hot showers. The kitchen provides half-board and full-board options. It opens mid-June through late September, with variable staffing in shoulder months—call ahead if you're going in June or September. The hut is managed by the local Alpini association and keeps simple, working-hut standards: no frills, reliable food, and a straightforward atmosphere.

Book directly with the hut by phone (+39 0463 550030) in May for July and August weekends. Weekdays fill less predictably. The hut fills quickly during fine weather in July and August, so reserve at least 2-3 weeks ahead for those months. Email contact via the refuge website is slower; phone works faster. Arrive by early afternoon to secure parking at Vallio village.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically open June through September, with extended shoulder season depending on snow conditions. Check ahead in early June or late September as staffing varies.
Park at Vallio village and follow the marked trail through beech and spruce forest for 2 hours to the hut at 2,050m; the final 400m gains elevation steeply but the route is well-signposted.
60 beds in mixed dorms and doubles, hot meals and packed lunches, hot showers (usually on request), and basic amenities typical of mountain rifugios. No WiFi or power outlets in rooms.
Yes for fit families; the 2-hour approach is non-technical but steep in the final stretch, so children should be reasonably confident on uphill terrain. It's an excellent base for family day hikes across the Brenta plateau.
