About
Rifugio Coni Zugna sits at 1,628m in the Prealps north of Bassano del Grappa, Veneto. The standard approach climbs from Asiago plateau via the Val d'Astico valley—roughly 2.5 hours on established trail. From the south, Bassano approaches take 4–5 hours but offer gentler grades. The hut marks a junction point between ridge traverses and valley routes across this limestone plateau.
The rifugio operates year-round and sleeps around 40 people in simple dorm rooms. Meals focus on regional Veneto cooking. Facilities include flush toilets and drinking water. The kitchen serves both residents and day-hikers. The hut sits on several marked CAI trails, making it a reliable waypoint for multi-day traverses rather than a destination in itself.
Book directly by phone well ahead for weekends and July–August. Check opening hours in winter, as staffing can be seasonal. The hut is unmanned some weekdays off-season.
