Rifugio Città di Fiume
5.0About
Rifugio Città di Fiume sits at 1,917m in Val Fiorentina, with views toward Civetta and Marmolada. Reach it via the Val Fiorentina from Colle Santa Lucia (road access to 1,537m, then 2.5 hours hiking) or from Fedare in the south (3 hours hiking). Most hikers approach from the north via Passo Ghedina. The hut is ideally positioned for ridge walks and mountain-bike descents across the Veneto Dolomites.
The hut offers 22 beds plus 2 emergency places. Meals are served daily during summer season. Hot showers are available. WiFi connection works reliably. The building was renovated in 2007 and operates staffed from June through September, though you can access it unstaffed in winter if you're self-sufficient. It's a solid base for families doing easier Dolomite walks and for mountain bikers exploring the valley trails.
Book directly via email or phone—CAI-managed huts often fill fast for summer weekends. Use rifugi.cai.it to find current contact details. July and August require booking 6-8 weeks ahead. June and September are quieter. Winter access is possible but confirm current conditions before heading up—unstaffed means you'll need to be self-reliant and bring your own sleeping bag liner.
