About

Baita Pozzi sits at 1,971m in the Dolomites near Cortina d'Ampezzo. The standard approach is from Passo Ghedina (2,159m), a 1.5-hour walk on marked trails across open pasture and light forest. From Cortina town itself, allow 3.5 to 4 hours. The hut also serves mountaineers tackling nearby peaks and is a natural stopping point on multi-day ridge traverses in the area.

The hut offers basic mountain refuge facilities with around 40 beds in simple dormitory rooms. Meals are hearty rifugio fare: pasta, risotto, cured meats, and dairy. Half-board is standard. Showers are available. The hut runs spring through autumn (typically late May to late September). Winter access is unreliable and requires checking conditions ahead.

Book directly with the hut by phone or email at least 2 weeks ahead for summer weekends. July and August fill rapidly—6 weeks' notice is safer. The hut can handle walk-ups on quiet days, but don't count on beds in July or on Saturdays. The refuge serves day-hikers as well, so the dining room gets busy at lunch.
