Refuge Giuseppe Granata
4.6Rifugio Giuseppe Granata
About
Rifugio Giuseppe Granata sits at 1,020m in the Val di Non, in Trentino-Alto Adige. The hut serves as a base for walks through chestnut and beech forests and day hikes to nearby peaks. Access is straightforward: drive to Livo and walk 45 minutes uphill on a clear forest path, or approach via longer routes from neighbouring valleys. The setting is rural and working-class—this is a functioning mountain village hut, not a high-altitude refuge.
The rifugio has 60 beds in rooms of four to six. Meals are simple and local: pasta, polenta, game in season, and the region's strong cheeses. The hut is open year-round, though check ahead in winter as catering varies. Hot showers and basic bathrooms are available. The atmosphere is straightforward and family-friendly. This is a place to walk, eat well, and sleep soundly—not to chase views or endure hardship.
Book direct by telephone. The hut is rarely full except around Italian school holidays (mid-August, Easter, Christmas) and weekends in September. Show up without reserving in shoulder seasons unless you want a specific menu prepared. Contact through CAI (Club Alpino Italiano) or search rifugio details via cai.it if you need management contact numbers.
