About
Casera Vecia sits at 2,050m in the Carnic Alps, accessed from the Moggio Udinese side via the Val Pesarina. The standard approach takes 4–5 hours from the trailhead, climbing steadily through beech forest before emerging onto alpine pasture. The hut serves as a base for traversing the Carnic ridgeline and for routes on peaks like Cima di Monticello. Winter access is possible but requires mountaineering skills and current conditions knowledge.
The hut is small and traditional, with capacity for around 20 people in simple dormitory accommodation. Meals are hearty and meat-heavy. Water comes from a spring. The hut stays open year-round, though staffing and heating are minimal outside summer months. Mobile signal is weak to absent. Bring a headtorch and expect basic comfort.
Book directly by phone or email at least two weeks ahead in July and August. The hut fills quickly on weekends during summer. Winter visits require advance notice and confirmation of staffing. Pay in cash when possible; card payments depend on current connectivity.
