About
Bait Cacciatori sits at 2,596m in the Pale di San Martino massif, in the heart of the Dolomites. Reach it on foot from Rifugio Fedare (1,969m) in 2.5 to 3 hours via a steady alpine path. The hut also connects to the Giro dei Tre Cime trail system and offers scrambling access to peaks above 3,000m. The approach is well-marked but exposed in places. Allow extra time in wet conditions.
The hut is small, with about 40 beds across simple shared rooms. Meals are basic mountain fare: pasta and polenta-based dinners, hearty breakfasts. Water comes from a spring; toilet facilities are basic. The season runs from June through September, depending on snow. This is serious hut territory—expect cold nights and minimal comfort. Half-board (bed and meals) is standard, and you bring your own sleeping bag.
Book 2 to 3 months ahead for July and August weekends. Contact the hut directly by phone or through CAI Primiero, which manages it. Winter access is only possible for equipped groups with prior arrangement. Check conditions with the hut before arrival—weather and snow cover change rapidly at this elevation.
