Battaglione Cadore
2,250m
Veneto, Italy
About
Battaglione Cadore sits at 2,250m in the Val Stallata, deep in the Dolomites. Reach it from the Ghedina Pass (2,150m) via a marked trail that takes 45 minutes on foot. Winter access requires mountaineering skills and crampons. The hut occupies a location where a wooden shelter stood in the 1950s; the current structure dates to the 1970s after being rebuilt following a rockfall.
This is a basic alpine bivouac, not a staffed mountain hut. It has 9 beds and 9 emergency places. There's no guardian, no meals, no water supply—bring everything you need. The hut operates year-round but is only staffed during summer months (typically June to September). Winter visits mean a completely isolated shelter. Toilet facilities are minimal. This is a refuge of last resort or a base for serious mountaineers, not a comfortable overnight stop.
Book via rifugi.cai.it or email the CAI directly—contact details are on their website. Phone booking is possible but email is more reliable for this remote location. Summer weekends fill up; book 4-6 weeks ahead for July and August. Winter use requires advance coordination to check current conditions and access feasibility.
