Cozzolino Enzo
1,560m
Veneto, Italy
About
Cozzolino Enzo sits at 1560m in the Valle di S. Lucano, a quiet corner of the Veneto Dolomites. The hut serves as a base for hiking routes through limestone peaks and forest. Access is on foot from the valley floor; allow 2–3 hours depending on your route. The approach is straightforward with decent trail marking.
The hut has 9 beds and 9 emergency places. The CAI manages it simply—no meals, no running water, no WiFi. You'll need to bring food and water. In summer (roughly June to September) a caretaker is present. The hut remains unlocked outside staffed season for emergency shelter only. Heating is limited. The setting suits self-sufficient hikers who want a quiet base for multi-day trips in the area.
Book well ahead for summer weekends by emailing the CAI contact or using rifugi.cai.it. July and August fill fast. Outside summer months, contact the CAI directly to confirm the hut is accessible and to arrange key access. Check conditions before winter visits—snow and cold isolate this hut quickly.
