About
Malga Soprasasso Alta sits at 2207m on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni plateau in the Veneto Dolomites. Reach it from Asiago via the Strada delle 52 Gallerie—a World War One supply road with tunnels carved into limestone cliffs. The standard approach takes 3 to 4 hours from Asiago town. Most hikers break the walk into sections, using lower rifugios or staying in Asiago itself. The hut is equally accessible from Roana to the north (2 to 3 hours). Snow closes access from November through May most years.
This is a working alpine dairy, not a traditional rifugio. It operates seasonally and produces cheese from June to September. Accommodation is limited—expect 8 to 12 beds in shared dormitory rooms. Meals focus on local dairy products and simple mountain food. Kitchen facilities are basic. Water comes from springs on the plateau. There are no showers. The hut stays open July through September only. Arrive before 2pm if you want dinner and a bed the same day.
Book directly by phone or in person. The operators keep irregular hours; call ahead before arriving. July and August can fill, particularly weekends. June and September offer quieter hiking and reliable access to trails on the Asiago plateau. This is a working farm first and a hut second—expect a rustic experience and flexibility from management.

Expect basic mountain hut amenities: dormitory beds, simple meals (half-board standard), and limited shower facilities—bring a towel and assume cold water.
Yes, the approach is moderate, not technical, but the 3–4 hour approach from Asiago is sustained—solid fitness helps. It's good for families and hikers comfortable on exposed limestone paths with some cables.
