About
Rifugio Trivena sits at 1,650m in the Val di Fassa, in the heart of the Dolomites. Reach it from Campitello di Fassa village via a well-marked trail that takes 1.5 hours on foot. The hut anchors several hiking loops in this limestone valley and sits close enough to accommodation and services to work as a base for multi-day explorations of the Fassa and surrounding ridges.
The hut has 40 beds split across simple rooms, and serves full meals in the dining area. Showers are available—a real bonus for a valley rifugio. Staff cook hearty Trentino food: casunziei (stuffed pasta), spätzle, and local cheeses. The hut opens year-round but is most reliable June through September. Winter visits are possible but confirm ahead first.
Book 2–3 months ahead for July and August weekends. Contact the hut directly by phone or email; it's not part of the main CAI or SAT networks. Single nights work fine if you're flexible with dates. Arrive early in the day if you haven't reserved, especially outside peak season when staff may not be present later in the afternoon. The hut is family-friendly and suitable for hikers of mixed ability.
