Lodnerhütte - Rifugio Cima Fiammante
4.8About
Lodnerhütte sits at 2,259m in the Dolomites above the Sexten Valley. Reach it from Passo Ghedina (2,162m) via a marked trail that takes 2.5 hours. The approach is steady without technical difficulty. From the Sexten Valley floor, allow 4–5 hours total. The hut is also accessible from the Tre Cime di Lavaredo area to the east.
The hut has 34 beds across simple, clean rooms. Meals are substantial: a three-course dinner and breakfast with bread, cheese, and cold cuts come standard. There's a small bar. Water is available. The season runs June through September; expect it to close during heavy snow. The hut is managed by the Sexten mountain guides and functions as a base for ridge walks along the Cima Fiammante group and approaches to Tre Cime.
Book directly by email or phone. July and August weekends fill 6–8 weeks ahead. May bookings for summer are wise. Off-season (June, September, early October) offers more flexibility. Email is more reliable than phone for confirmations. Specify your arrival date, number of people, and whether you want meals when you contact them. Half-board (dinner and breakfast) is standard; packed lunches can be arranged.
