About
Malghetta sits at 2,560m on the Tre Croci plateau in the Dolomites, within the Marmarole group. Reach it from Cortina d'Ampezzo in 3.5 hours via the Tre Croci pass. The route climbs steadily through alpine meadows and scree, crossing terrain suitable for experienced hikers. Winter access is difficult; most visitors come June through September.
The hut sleeps 30 people in dormitory bunks. Meals are filling and meat-heavy—expect pasta, polenta, and local dishes. Shower facilities are basic; bring warm layers. The guardian cooks on-site and maintains the building year-round, though opening dates shift with snow conditions. You can stay overnight or stop for lunch on longer traverses through the Marmarole.
Book directly by phone or email at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. Early September is quieter but still reliable. The hut is managed privately, so availability depends on the current guardian's schedule. Confirm opening dates before planning a winter or shoulder-season visit.
