About
Malga di Amblar sits at 1,730m in the Asiago Plateau, deep in the Veneto highlands. Reach it from Asiago town by hiking north through beech forest and alpine pasture for 2.5 hours. The approach is steady, non-technical, and well-marked. Most hikers base themselves here for 2–3 days to explore the surrounding ridge network and peaks of the Asiago group.
The rifugio operates as a working dairy farm (malga) and guesthouse. Capacity is around 30 beds in simple, shared rooms. Meals focus on local produce and cheese made on-site—expect hearty soups, polenta, and local specialities. They serve breakfast and packed lunches. The hut has basic facilities: cold water, composting toilets, and kerosene heating. It opens year-round but is busiest June to September and quieter in winter when access may require snowshoes.
Book directly by phone or email at least one month ahead, especially for weekends and summer months. July and August fill fast. The hut is managed independently, not by a major Alpine club, so contact them directly for availability and meal arrangements. Winter visits require advance notice. Payment is cash only.
