Malga Moschesin
2.2About
Malga Moschesin sits at 1,800m on the Paganella plateau in the Dolomites, above the village of Andalo. Reach it via a well-marked trail from Andalo (90 minutes) or from the Paganella ridge (2 hours). The approach is straightforward hiking over open meadows with views into the Brenta massif. Winter access is possible when snow cover is stable.
The hut is a working alpine dairy (malga) offering simple accommodation and hearty meals based on local ingredients. It sleeps around 40 in basic dormitory rooms. Food focuses on traditional Trentino fare: cheese, salumi, polenta, and mountain soups. There's a small bar and terrace. Bring a sleeping bag or hire bedding. Water comes from a spring. The hut operates year-round but is most active May to October; staffing and meal availability are unpredictable outside summer months.
Book directly by phone or email at least 2 weeks ahead during July and August. June, September, and early October are quieter. The hut fills quickly on weekends. Confirm opening dates before traveling in shoulder seasons, as weather and staffing can force closures. Payment is cash only.
