Refuge Doss dei Cembri / Doss dei Gembri
4.1Rifugio Doss dei Cembri / Doss dei Gembri
About
Rifugio Doss dei Cembri sits at 2,316m in the Lagorai range above Val di Fiemme. Reach it from Predazzo (a valley town on the SS48) via the rifugio trail marked 219. The walk takes roughly 3 hours and gains 1,200m steadily through larch forest before opening onto high pasture. The hut also connects to trails toward Passo Fedare and the high ridges of the Lagorai, so it works well as a base for multi-day traverses.
The rifugio is a working mountain hut run by CAI staff. It sleeps around 50 people in dorm rooms. Half-board meals are standard: substantial pasta dishes and polenta for dinner, fresh bread and jam for breakfast. There is a small bar, solar showers, and toilet facilities. The hut stays open July through September, weather permitting. Winter weekends sometimes see caretaker-managed stays but confirm before planning.
Book directly by email or phone as soon as your dates are fixed. July and August fill quickly—aim for at least 3 weeks ahead. May through June and September see fewer visitors but rely on weather. Call ahead in shoulder months to confirm the hut is fully staffed and open.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book at least 2-3 weeks ahead during July-August, earlier if you're planning a weekend. Contact the hut directly by phone or check rifugio.net and cai.it for availability.
Typically open late June through September, though this varies by snow conditions and staffing. Confirm opening dates by calling ahead since spring conditions in the Lagorai can be unpredictable.
Start from Predazzo on the SS48 and follow marked trail 219 for roughly 3 hours, gaining 1,200m through larch forest to high pasture—steady climbing but well-marked.
Expect typical rifugio fare (pasta, polenta, local cheese) with dinner and breakfast included in most packages; bunk beds for ~50 people and basic washing facilities, but no showers.
The 3-hour approach with 1,200m gain is moderate-to-steep for beginners; it's better suited to experienced hikers planning ridge traverses or multi-day loops through the Lagorai.
