About
Malga Folgarida di Dimaro sits at 1662m in the Dolomites above Dimaro in Val di Sole. Reach it from Dimaro village via a 2-hour hike through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The trail climbs steadily but without technical difficulty. You can also access the hut from Madonna di Campiglio (allow 4 hours) or from the Rifugio Nambino side if combining routes in the area.
This is a working alpine dairy—expect a rustic, working hut rather than a resort. It sleeps roughly 30 people in basic dormitory and a few private rooms. The kitchen serves traditional mountain food heavy on local dairy products and polenta. Most meals include house specialities made from milk produced on-site. Full board or half-board options available. Water comes from the mountain spring. No hot showers, but washing facilities exist. Open June to September depending on snow melt and staffing.
Book directly by phone. July and August fill quickly—call at least 6 weeks ahead if visiting peak season. The hut is popular with families doing day hikes in the Val di Sole network, so weekends are busier than weekdays. A small shop sells basic supplies and emergency provisions if you arrive without enough food.
