About
Malga Spora sits at 1855m on the Asiago Plateau in the Veneto Alps. Most hikers reach it from Asiago town (about 1000m elevation gain, 3–4 hours) or from the rifugio network further east. The malga occupies open pasture with views across the plateau toward the Brenta Dolomites. Summer thunderstorms arrive fast here, so start early.
The hut offers 30 beds in basic rooms. Meals are traditional: polenta, cheese, and local meat. Hot showers and flush toilets are standard—useful after long days on exposed ridges. The malga operates June through September only. Food quality is solid but not fancy; book your dinner when you arrive. Staff speak some English but Italian helps.
Book directly by phone or email at least 2 weeks ahead for July and August. The hut fills on weekends and during school holidays. Phone ahead to confirm meals are available—staffing can be thin on quiet weekdays. Payment is cash or bank transfer; check current terms when you call.

From Asiago town, it's a 3–4 hour hike with roughly 1000m elevation gain across open plateau terrain. Alternative access via the rifugio network further east is shorter but less direct.
30 beds in basic shared rooms; traditional meals feature polenta, cheese, and local meat. Hot showers and flush toilets are available—standard for a malga at this elevation.
The 3–4 hour approach from Asiago is moderate for fit families, but the exposed plateau terrain and fast-moving thunderstorms demand early starts and weather awareness. Better for hikers with some Alpine experience.
