About
Rifugio Segantini sits at 2,373m in the Dolomites, accessed via the Val di Fassa. The hut lies on the Forcella di Fedare route between Passo Ghedina and the Sassolungo massif. Most parties approach from Vigo di Fassa, a 2-hour hike gaining 800m, or from Rifugio Fedare in 1.5 hours. The location works well as a base for traversing the Sassolungo cirque or as a midpoint on longer ridge walks through the Dolomites.
The rifugio holds 48 beds split across several rooms. Half-board stays include dinner, breakfast, and a packed lunch. The kitchen provides substantial mountain fare—expect pasta, local cheeses, and hearty soups. Water is reliable, though showers require advance notice and cost extra. The hut operates June through September, closing during the off-season. The SAC and CAI manage the hut alongside the resident keeper.
Contact the hut directly by phone (+39 0462 613050) or email to reserve beds. July and August fill 4–6 weeks ahead, especially weekends. June and September offer better availability. Arrive with cash—card payments are not always possible. The hut sits on the Alta Via 2 long-distance route, so expect heavier foot traffic mid-July through mid-August. Ring ahead if arriving late or planning a special diet.
