Hotel Forte Cherle
4.4About
Hotel Forte Cherle sits at 1417m on the Asiago Plateau in Veneto, accessible from the village of Asiago. Most walkers approach via the marked trail from Asiago town center (1.5 hours) or from the nearby Rifugio Wiedemann (45 minutes). The location sits on a former WWI fortification, giving it historical significance and views across the Venetian pre-Alps.
This is a full hotel rather than a mountain rifugio, with 40 beds in comfortable rooms—most with private bathrooms. The restaurant serves regional Veneto cuisine and three-course dinners daily. Half-board is standard in summer. The hut operates year-round and functions as both a hiking base and a destination for those wanting proper hotel amenities at altitude. WiFi and phone reception are reliable. The plateau offers straightforward walks to Rifugio Wiedemann (2 hours) and longer traverses across the Asiago Plateau's network of trails.
Book rooms directly by phone or email. July and August fill quickly; aim for 4 weeks ahead during summer. Shoulder seasons (May, June, September, October) have availability with shorter notice. The hut can get busy with weekend hikers from the Veneto lowlands, but midweek stays are quiet. Winter access depends on snow conditions; confirm by phone before planning a winter visit.
