Baito Campivelo
2.5About
Baito Campivelo sits at 1809m on the eastern flank of the Civetta massif in the Dolomites. Reach it from Colle Santa Lucia (2,192m) via the Ghedina valley—a 2-hour descent on well-marked paths. You can also approach from Caprile in the Colle Ghedina valley, which takes 3-4 hours uphill. The hut works well as a base for climbing on Civetta's eastern faces and for ridge traverses across the Falzarego area.
The rifugio is a simple mountain hut with capacity for around 40 people in dormitory rooms. Meals are basic mountain fare: pasta, polenta, local cheeses, and straightforward proteins. Shower facilities are available. It operates year-round, though July and August draw the heaviest traffic. Spring and autumn bring better conditions for climbing and ridge work than peak summer heat.
Book directly by phone or email well ahead for July and August—6 weeks minimum. The hut fills quickly during good weather windows. Off-season visits require confirmation that the hut is staffed. Check current contact details on rifugio management websites or ask locally in Colle Santa Lucia, where staff at other rifugios can provide phone numbers and current opening status.
