Hintereggalm
4.8About
Hintereggalm sits at 1,974m in the Veneto Dolomites, accessible from the Cortina d'Ampezzo valley. Most hikers approach via the Tre Croci Pass road (1,809m), then climb northeast on marked trails for approximately 1.5 hours. The route is steady rather than steep, making it a reasonable morning ascent before lunch. The hut anchors several ridge walks across the surrounding limestone plateaux.
The rifugio operates as a simple mountain shelter with capacity for around 30 guests. Staff serve hot meals at midday and evening, plus basic provisions for packed lunches. The building offers dormitory beds and a few private rooms; bring a sleeping bag liner. Toilet facilities are basic but functional. The hut opens from June through September, closing during winter snows. Weather here turns quickly—afternoon thunderstorms are common in July and August.
Contact the hut directly by email to reserve beds, especially for weekends and July. The area draws fewer crowds than the central Tre Cime valleys, so advance booking is less critical than at larger rifugios, though Saturday nights fill regularly during peak season. Day-hikers passing through should phone ahead to confirm kitchen availability if arriving outside standard meal hours.
