Rifugio Dona
2.7About
Rifugio Dona sits at 2,100m on the Italian side of the Alps, serving as a base for hiking in the region. The hut sits on established routes connecting major valleys. Most approaches take 3–4 hours from the valley floor. Winter access can be difficult; confirm conditions before traveling outside summer months.
The rifugio runs 20–30 beds across simple rooms. Dinner and breakfast are available on-site; half-board arrangements work well if you're staying multiple nights. The kitchen handles vegetarian meals with notice. Shower facilities are basic. The hut typically opens late May through September, though shoulder-season dates vary by year—check before planning a spring or autumn trip.
Book by phone directly with the hut. July and August fill 4–6 weeks ahead, especially on weekends. May, June, and September have more availability but weather is less stable. Call early in your planning if you need beds during peak season. The hut has no email or online booking system, so a phone call is your only option.
