Agriturismo Malga Laste
2.9About
Malga Laste sits at 1868m in the Brenta Dolomites, accessed via the Val di Non valley. The hut lies on the main hiking route between Rifugio Nambino and Rifugio Tuckett. Most hikers reach it in 3–4 hours from Nambino to the south, or 2.5–3 hours from Tuckett to the north. The approach is straightforward: clear trails, moderate grades, no scrambling required.
This is a working alpine dairy farm (malga) that also operates as a simple guesthouse. The hut serves 30–40 people in basic dormitory rooms. Meals focus on local mountain food: cheese made on-site, cured meats, and hearty pasta dishes. There's a small dining room and basic toilet facilities. It functions as a summer-only operation, typically June through September, weather dependent. The atmosphere is genuinely rural—you're eating in a functioning farm, not a tourist restaurant.
Book directly through their website or phone as far ahead as possible. July and August fill quickly, especially weekends. Off-season (June, September) has more availability but check ahead as weather can force early closures. This hut suits hikers wanting authentic mountain accommodation over comfort—expect a working farm environment, not a polished mountain lodge. Bring a good sleeping bag even in summer; heating is minimal.
