About
Baita Giovanni Paolo I sits at 1880m in the Dolomites, accessible from the Tre Cime di Lavaredo area. The approach takes 2–3 hours on marked trails through alpine meadows and larch forest. Most hikers reach it from Auronzo di Cadore or via the Paternsattel. The hut serves as a solid base for day walks to the Tre Cime peaks and scrambles across the surrounding ridges.
This is a simple mountain shelter offering basic accommodation and drinking water. Capacity is around 30 people in dormitory rooms. The hut provides meals—bring cash or check ahead on payment methods. Winter closure is standard; the hut typically opens May through September, depending on snow conditions. Cell reception is weak, so plan communications before arrival.
Book direct with the hut operator 2–3 weeks ahead for weekends in July and August. Phone ahead to confirm the current opening date, especially in shoulder seasons. The hut fills quickly during summer holidays and when the Tre Cime trails are snow-free. Email contact details should be available through the main alpine-huts.com directory.
