About
Malga Monte Corno sits at 1,710m on the high pastures above Asiago on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni plateau. Reach it from Asiago town centre in 1.5 hours on foot, heading north past the WWI monuments toward Monte Corno. The trail is well-marked and gains 450m steadily through beech forest and open meadow. A gravel road also reaches the malga from the eastern side, making it accessible by mountain bike or vehicle in dry conditions.
This is a working alpine dairy and simple rifugio combined. It operates seasonally (typically June through September) and offers 25 beds in basic shared rooms. The kitchen serves home-made cheese, milk products, and filling mountain meals based on what the dairy produces that day. You can buy fresh ricotta and butter to take away. There's a small bar, outdoor seating facing the meadows, and basic washing facilities. The hut doesn't offer half-board meals—you order à la carte from a limited daily menu.
Book directly by phone or email through the hut's contact details. It fills quickly during July weekends when families from the Venetian lowlands escape the heat. August is consistently busy. May and September offer quieter hiking with reliable weather. The hut is closed in winter and during rainy spells when access deteriorates. Arrive early if visiting on weekends, as there's no reservation system—it's first-come, first-served once the season opens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book 2-3 weeks ahead during peak season (July-August), especially for weekends; contact the hut directly by phone or check rifugio.net. Outside summer, walk-ins are usually fine, but call ahead to confirm staffing.
Typically open June through September; it's a working dairy operation so hours vary seasonally. Call ahead in shoulder months (May, October) as staffing is inconsistent.
Hike 1.5 hours (450m gain) from Asiago town centre on a well-marked trail through beech forest, or drive/mountain bike the gravel road from the eastern approach in dry conditions.
Expect simple rifugio fare—polenta, cheese, cured meats from the malga—with basic bunk beds; showers are cold or non-existent, so treat it as a working dairy stop rather than a comfort hut.
Yes for families with some hiking experience; the 1.5-hour walk from Asiago is steady but manageable, and the vehicle access option suits younger kids, though facilities are minimal.
