Alpine Dairy Campa

Malga Campa sits at 1,978m on the Asiago Plateau in the Veneto Alps, on the border between the Asiago and Gallio communes. Reach it from Asiago town (30km northeast of Bassano del Grappa) by hiking the marked trail towards Cima Dodici—expect 2.5 to 3 hours of steady ascent through beech forest and open pasture. The route is straightforward and well-marked; the final approach crosses alpine meadow with views across the plateau. Mountain bikers also use this approach in summer.

The hut operates as a working dairy farm and mountain refuge combined. It sleeps around 30 people in shared dormitories and private rooms. The kitchen serves hearty food typical of the plateau: cheese, cured meats, soups, and simple pasta dishes. Water comes from a spring; showers are available but use them sparingly. The hut runs year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and road clearing—call ahead in December through March. Meals must be ordered in advance, especially for larger groups.

Book direct by phone rather than online. The hut fills quickly on summer weekends and during autumn (September through early October) when the weather is stable and plateau hiking is at its best. July and August attract casual visitors from Asiago town, making midweek visits preferable if you want quieter accommodation. Winter visitors should confirm access conditions before heading up.
