Refuge Cacciatore

Rifugio Cacciatore sits at 1,820m on the Asiago Plateau in the Veneto Dolomites. You reach it from Asiago town (4km south) in 1.5 hours on foot via marked trail CAI 4, or from the Rifugio Pennar junction in 1 hour. The hut anchors a network of day walks across rolling alpine meadow and beech forest typical of this region—terrain less dramatic than the Dolomites proper but reliable for summer trekking.

The rifugio sleeps 40 people in simple dormitory-style rooms. Half-board is standard (dinner and breakfast included). The kitchen serves straightforward mountain food: pasta, polenta, local cheese, and game dishes. Showers are available. The hut is open year-round, though staffing and services thin considerably from November to March—contact ahead if planning winter visits. Phone ahead to confirm availability, especially in shoulder months.

Book directly by phone or email. July and August weekends fill 3–4 weeks ahead. June and September offer more flexibility. The hut lies on several longer ridge walks crossing the plateau, making it popular with groups and school parties during school holidays—avoid these periods if you prefer quiet. Winter access depends on snow cover and hut staffing; verify conditions before driving up.
