About
Rifugio Campogrosso sits at 1,456m in the Dolomites foothills of northeastern Veneto. Approach from the village of Cesiomaggiore via a steep trail that climbs 700m in roughly 2.5 hours. The route is direct and relentless—pack water accordingly. The rifugio works as a base for ridge walks and longer traverses into the lower Dolomites, with connections to nearby peaks and passes manageable in half-day stints.
The hut is small, with capacity for roughly 30 guests in mixed and private rooms. Meals are hearty and adequate: they serve dinner, breakfast, and packed lunches on request. Hot showers and charging sockets are available. The hut opens year-round, though winter conditions on the approach require experience—contact ahead to confirm snow access. A simple bar serves coffee and drinks throughout the day.
Book directly by email or phone. July and August are predictably full; aim to reserve 4–6 weeks ahead for peak season. June, September, and early October are quieter and often more reliable for finding space. Phone ahead even with a booking to confirm current conditions and arrange your arrival time, particularly if you're hiking in poor weather or arriving outside standard afternoon hours.
