About
Pietro Galassi is a former WWI military barracks converted to a staffed hut in 1970. The hut sits at 2,018m in Val d'Oten and serves as the standard approach to Antelao. Access from Auronzo is a 3-hour walk via marked trails.
The hut holds 99 beds plus 9 emergency places. It operates staffed through summer and unstaffed in winter—you'll need to be self-sufficient if you arrive outside peak season. The kitchen serves meals, and there's drinking water and WiFi. The location works well for day hikes across the Tre Cime plateau and as a base for mountain biking in the valley.
Book direct with the hut via email or phone (both contacts available on rifugi.cai.it). July and August fill 6-8 weeks ahead. Spring and early autumn offer quieter conditions with reliable staffing. Winter visits require prior arrangement and self-catering preparation.
