About
Rifugio Campomulo sits at 1530m in the Veneto foothills, on the edge of the Astico plateau. Reach it from Astico village by hiking 2.5 hours northeast through beech forest. The trail climbs steadily but never steeply, following forestry roads for the first hour before narrowing into proper mountain paths. You can also approach from Passo della Borcola (1419m) in 1.5 hours if you're coming from the south. Parking is limited at both trailheads, so arrive early on weekends.
The rifugio operates year-round and sleeps 30 in dorm rooms and a few doubles. Hot meals are available daily—expect straightforward Veneto mountain food. The hut has running water but showers are cold. There's a small bar and a common room with a wood stove. Mobile signal is unreliable. The location makes it a natural base for exploring the plateau's network of trails and for acclimatisation before heading into the higher Astico ranges.
Book directly by phone or email rather than through online platforms. July and August weekends fill quickly; book 4–6 weeks ahead. June, September and October are less crowded and often better for hiking weather in this region. Winter access depends on snow—call ahead if visiting December through March. The hut is popular with CAI groups on weekends, so families seeking quiet should aim for weekdays.
