Malga Campedel
2.2About
Malga Campedel sits at 1818m in the Dolomites, accessible via the Passo Ghedina approach from Cortina d'Ampezzo or from the Tre Croci pass. The hut sits on the Campedel plateau, a high pasture surrounded by limestone peaks. Most hikers reach it in 2–3 hours from the pass roads. The location works as a base for traversing the Passo Ra Gusela or pushing toward the Sorapis massif.
The hut is a working alpine dairy farm converted to accommodate hikers. It operates year-round with 40 beds spread across simple rooms. Meals focus on local Veneto cooking—expect hearty polenta, casunziei (stuffed pasta), and grilled meats. The kitchen also sells packed lunches for onward days. Hot showers are available. The hut maintains its original character; expect functional rather than luxurious conditions. Mobile signal is patchy.
Book directly by phone or email at least 2 weeks ahead during July and August. The hut is quieter in June and September, which are better months for sleeping space and meal quality. Arrive before 18:00 for dinner. The hut closes occasionally in shoulder seasons, so confirm opening dates before planning your trip. Payment is cash only—there is no card facility on-site.
