About
Rifugio Dardo sits at 2,040m on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni in the Asiago plateau. Reach it from Asiago town in 3.5 hours via the marked trail past Lago di Astico, or take the shorter 2-hour route from Rifugio Casara d'Astico. The hut is well-placed for day walks across the plateau and connections to the Brenta Dolomites to the east.
The rifugio has 80 beds split across multiple rooms with private or shared facilities. Half-board and full-board options are available, with hearty Veneto cooking and strong coffee. The hut opens year-round but is busiest July-August and weekends. Winter access depends on snow conditions—check ahead before visiting outside summer months.
Book directly by phone for July and August at least 4 weeks ahead. Weekend reservations fill quickly even outside peak season. The hut manages walk-ins on quiet days, but don't rely on it. The Altopiano dei Sette Comuni sits in Veneto's Alpine zone, so contact CAI or check cai.it for updated trail conditions before you go.
