About
Malga Nuova Coredo sits at 1,562m in the Val di Non, a pastoral valley in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Reach it from Coredo village by hiking northeast through meadows for about 1 hour. The approach is gentle and well-marked, gaining 350m. This is a working alpine dairy (malga), so the character and facilities depend entirely on seasonal operation.
The site operates as a seasonal refuge and working milk production facility. You'll find basic accommodation in simple rooms, typically sleeping 6–12 people in mixed dormitory-style beds. Meals center on local dairy products and traditional mountain food—expect hearty soups, polenta, and cheese made on-site. Water and electricity are limited. The hut closes during winter when the dairy shuts down; typical opening is June through September.
Contact the hut directly by phone or visit before committing to a stay. Opening dates vary by year and depend on snow melt and dairy operations. Summer weekends fill quickly. The Val di Non valley huts are less crowded than peaks further south, but Malga Nuova Coredo remains popular with families and dairy tourists. Bring cash—card facilities are unreliable. Plan your visit around the working schedule; if the dairy is not active, the hut may not be staffed.
