About

Rifugio Malga Corva sits at 1,920m in the Val di Non, a quiet valley in Trentino. Reach it on foot from Cles (20km south) via the Sentiero della Malga—allow 4.5 hours for the steep climb through beech and spruce forest. The hut also connects to the high trails above 2,000m that cross toward the Brenta Dolomites; most hikers use it as a staging point rather than a destination.

The rifugio has 7 beds split across two small rooms and runs year-round, though winter visits require advance notice. The caretaker provides hot meals on request (book ahead) and basic provisions. Showers and running water are available; the hut is solar-powered and deliberately minimal. This is a working mountain pasture with cows and horses—expect livestock noise and a working farm atmosphere, not a tourist facility.

Book by phone or email at least one week ahead in summer. July and August are busy weekends; book three weeks prior if you need specific dates. The hut closes for brief periods in late autumn—confirm availability before traveling. Bring cash; card payments are unreliable in this remote location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Book at least 2–3 weeks ahead during July–September; winter visits require advance notice by phone since the hut operates on limited staffing. Contact them directly by phone to confirm availability and arrange your arrival.
Open year-round, but winter visits need advance arrangement. Peak season is June through September when you're guaranteed full staffing.

7 beds in two small rooms; contact by phone to confirm meal service and water availability, as limited capacity means amenities may be basic. Expect traditional Alpine hut facilities rather than en-suite bathrooms.
Not ideal for beginners—the 4.5-hour approach is steep and the hut's small size (7 beds) makes it a working staging point for fit hikers tackling higher-altitude routes, not a family-friendly base. Better for experienced hikers using it to access Brenta Dolomites trails.
