About
Rifugio Sandro Occhi sits at 1930m on the Aviolo plateau in the Val di Non, Trentino-Alto Adige. Access from the south starts in Tuenno; the marked trail takes 2.5 hours. From the north, the approach via Sanzeno is shorter at 2 hours. The hut serves as a base for exploring the limestone terrain and connects to trails heading toward Monte Nones and the higher peaks of the Brenta Group. Winter snow closes the access roads, so plan hiking between May and October.
The rifugio has 40 beds across simple rooms. Meals are hearty and traditional Trentino fare—expect polenta, speck, and local cheese. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner; half-board and full-board options are available. Water comes from the mountain spring. The hut has no heating beyond woodstoves, so bring warm layers even in summer. Showers are available but use water sparingly. Mobile signal is weak.
Book directly by email or phone at least two weeks ahead during July and August. May and September see lighter traffic, making these better months if you want flexibility. The hut closes November through April. Confirm opening dates in late April when snow melt dictates access conditions.
