Rifugio Auronzo

Veneto, Italy
About
Rifugio Auronzo sits at 2,333m in the Tre Cime di Lavaredo area of the Dolomites. You can drive to the hut or use the summer shuttle service from the valley. The hut is also accessible on foot from Auronzo town (roughly 2.5 hours) or via the Alta Via 1 trekking route. This location makes it a natural base for Tre Cime day hikes and longer ridge traverses across the eastern Dolomites.
The rifugio has 115 beds across multiple rooms and 4 emergency places. It's staffed and serves meals throughout the summer season (roughly June to September). Winter access is possible but the hut runs unstaffed. You'll find drinking water on-site. The hut has no WiFi—plan accordingly if you need connectivity. It suits families, mountain bikers, and hikers doing multi-day traverses equally well.
Book directly with CAI Auronzo via email or phone; they also take reservations through rifugi.cai.it. July and August fill quickly—book 8 weeks ahead for peak season. June, September, and early October are less crowded and still reliably staffed. Winter visits require advance notice since the hut operates unstaffed during those months.
