Posa Puner
5.0About
Posa Puner sits at 1,334m in the Asiago Plateau, within easy reach of Veneto's limestone ridges. The hut stands 2 hours' walk from Asiago town, making it accessible for day hikers and a solid base for multi-day trips across the plateau. You can also approach from the Brenta Dolomites to the north, though expect 3–4 hours of climbing. The terrain here is open and rolling—nothing technical, but the exposed plateau can be windy in bad weather.
The rifugio operates year-round and sleeps around 30 people in simple rooms. Meals are hearty mountain cooking: expect polenta, pasta, and local cheese. The hut has a small bar and drying room. Water is reliable, but toilets are basic. The kitchen can handle vegetarian requests if you warn them in advance. Half-board (bed and dinner) is standard; full board includes packed lunch.
Call ahead to book, especially for weekends in summer (June–September) and leaf season (September–October). The hut fills quickly on Saturdays. Arrive by early afternoon if you're hiking in, as the bar closes by 8pm. Winter weekends draw day hikers from the Veneto lowlands, so don't assume quiet midweek rates mean no crowds. Phone booking is direct and straightforward—staff speak basic English, but Italian is safer.
