About
Grisetti Giovannino sits at 2,050m in Val di Zoldo in the Veneto region, accessible from the valley floor via a 2 to 2.5-hour hike. The hut serves as a base for exploring the surrounding limestone peaks and ridges of the Dolomites' eastern edge. You'll find it on standard hiking maps marked as a CAI refuge.
The refuge holds 9 beds plus 9 emergency places. It's staffed during summer months (June through September). Outside this period the hut remains open but unmanned—bring a headtorch and expect basic conditions. There's no meals service, no reliable water supply, and no WiFi. You're responsible for bringing all food and water, or melting snow in winter. It works best as a night stop on a longer traverse rather than a destination hut.
Book via rifugi.cai.it. July and August require advance booking; aim for at least 4 weeks ahead. Outside peak season, the hut operates on trust with an honesty box system for emergency shelter. Check the CAI website for current opening dates and any maintenance closures before heading up.
