About
Rifugio Barricata sits at 1,351m in the Veneto Alps, on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni (Asiago Plateau). The hut serves as a base for walks across open moorland and forested ridges. Reach it from Asiago town (20km south) via marked trails—allow 4 to 5 hours on foot. Winter access may be restricted; check conditions before heading up.
The rifugio has 40 beds across mixed dorms and small rooms. The kitchen serves straightforward mountain food: pasta, polenta, local cheeses, and hearty stews. Most guests eat dinner and breakfast on-site rather than day-visiting. Tap water is reliable. The hut operates year-round but sees reduced staffing November through March. Heating works but don't expect luxury; bring a warm sleeping bag in shoulder seasons.
Contact the hut directly by phone (+39 0424 60100) or email to check availability and confirm opening dates before travelling, especially in winter. July and August fill quickly—book 4 to 6 weeks ahead. The hut accepts walk-ins when staffed, but rely on advance booking for weekend visits. Half-board (dinner and breakfast) is standard; packed lunches are available.
