Da Rin Chiaurei al Monte Tudaio
3.4About
Da Rin Chiaurei al Monte Tudaio sits at 2,140m in Val Piova, Veneto. Reach it from the valley floor in 3–4 hours on foot. The hut anchors access to Monte Tudaio and the surrounding ridge system. Trail conditions are generally good, but exposed scrambling appears near the summit.
The refuge holds 9 beds and can accommodate 9 additional people in emergency situations. No meals or water are available—bring your own food and full water capacity. There are no flush toilets or WiFi. The hut was completely rebuilt and opened in August 2023. Summer sees a caretaker on-site. Winter access is possible but the hut is unstaffed and you manage it yourself.
Book direct via email using the contact details on rifugi.cai.it, or book through that platform directly. Book at least a month ahead for July and August weekends. The hut belongs to CAI (Italian Alpine Club), so CAI members often receive priority or discounted rates—check when you contact them. Winter trips require self-sufficiency and sound mountain judgment.
