About
Malga Bassa di Presson sits at 1,460m in the Dolomites foothills above the Val di Zoldo in Veneto. Reach it on foot from Coi (1,020m) in 2 hours, following marked paths through beech and mixed forest. The final approach crosses open meadows typical of this region. The hut is a working alpine dairy—don't expect a rifugio with full amenities.
The malga operates seasonally (summer months only, typically June to September) as a grazing settlement. You'll find simple accommodation and basic meals centred on local dairy products and mountain food. Capacity is limited; this is a working farm first, a hostel second. They serve food to day hikers and overnighters. Facilities are functional rather than luxurious—expect basic dormitory beds and shared bathrooms. The setting rewards hikers planning loops through the Val di Zoldo or traversing between rifugios further into the Dolomites.
Contact the malga directly by phone or email well ahead. Summer weekends fill quickly, especially July and August. Spring and early autumn offer quieter visits. Note opening dates and availability before planning your trip, as staffing depends on the dairy operation's schedule. This hut works best as part of a multi-day traverse rather than a destination in itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call ahead—this is a working malga, not a staffed rifugio, so availability is limited and irregular. Contact by phone to confirm they're open and have space before hiking up.
June through September only; it's a seasonal grazing settlement that closes outside summer months.
Start from Coi (1,020m) and follow marked paths through forest and meadow for 2 hours to reach 1,460m; elevation gain is around 440m.
Expect basic accommodation and simple meals—this is a working dairy malga, not a mountain rifugio, so amenities like showers and full restaurant service are limited or absent.
The 2-hour walk from Coi is manageable for fit families, but rustic conditions and uncertain staffing make it better suited to hikers comfortable with minimal facilities who want authentic malga experience.
