Alpine Dairy Romeno

Malga Romeno sits at 1,773m on the Asiago Plateau in the Veneto Alps, a working alpine dairy that doubles as a mountain hut. Reach it from Asiago town on a 2-hour hike via well-marked trails through mixed forest and pasture. The plateau itself is gentle terrain—ideal for families or those acclimatizing before longer Alpine climbs further north. From here you can day-walk to higher ridges or make this your base for exploring the Asiago region's network of rifugios and mountain roads.

The hut runs as a traditional malga (seasonal dairy farm), so expect simple accommodation in shared or small private rooms. The kitchen focuses on local cheese, milk products, and hearty pastas—fuel for hikers, not fine dining. Capacity is modest, around 20-30 beds. Water and basic toilet facilities are available. The hut typically opens May through September, though this depends on weather and farming schedules. Call ahead to confirm opening dates. Outside summer months, access becomes unreliable.

Book directly by phone or email 2-3 weeks ahead for weekends June through August. July and August fill fast with Italian families exploring the plateau. Mid-week slots are easier to secure. The hut prefers phone contact; have your dates, group size, and meal preferences ready when you call. Half-board (bed and dinner) is standard.
