Rifugio Rosetta "Giovanni Pedrotti"
2,581m
Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
About
Rifugio Rosetta sits at 2,581m on the Pale di San Martino plateau in Primiero. Reach it in 3–4 hours from Rifugio Fedare (2,702m) or 2.5 hours from Passo Rolle (2,209m). The hut anchors access to the lunar terrain of the Pale—a high, exposed karst landscape that demands respect in weather. The original structure dates to the 1880s; rebuilt in 1952 after war damage, it remains a serious mountain base.
The hut holds 80 beds plus 8 emergency places. Meals are served daily. Water is reliable from spring sources. Hot showers are available—a genuine luxury at this altitude. There is no WiFi; plan accordingly. The CAI manages the property. Summer staffing runs roughly June through September; outside these months the hut is open but unmanned, so bring a sleeping bag and cook your own food.
Book direct by email or phone well before your trip. July and August require booking 6 months ahead; June and September fill 3 months prior. Use rifugi.cai.it to find contact details. The hut suits strong hikers tackling multi-day traverses of the Pale. Families with mountain experience and teenagers can manage it in summer. Winter visits demand winter mountaineering skills and self-sufficiency.
