About

Baito Campo Gallina sits at 1876m in the Veneto Dolomites, serving as a base for hikers and mountaineers working the limestone ridges around Monte Grivola and the surrounding peaks. Access is from Passo Ghedina (1530m) via the eastern approach—roughly 2 hours of steady gain through beech forest and alpine meadow. The hut is reachable year-round by foot, though winter approaches require experience on snow.

The rifugio operates as a mountain refuge with simple accommodation for 30–40 people in shared rooms. Half-board meals are available; the kitchen handles standard alpine fare. Facilities include running water, heating, and composting toilets. The hut is small and deliberately basic—expect no electricity after dark and no frills. It opens year-round, though demand is heaviest June through September and during ski touring season (February–April).

Book directly with the hut by phone or email at least 3–4 weeks ahead for summer weekends and public holidays. July and August are fully booked months in advance. The hut is popular with CAI groups, so midweek visits offer better availability. Winter access by foot is possible but verify snow conditions with management before committing.
