About
Rifugio Dario Albasini sits at 2,106m on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni (Asiago Plateau) in the Veneto Alps. The hut is a 2-hour hike from Asiago town, approached via marked trails through beech forest and alpine pasture. Summer access is straightforward; winter routes vary depending on snow cover. The location makes it a hub for ridge traverses across the plateau and access to peaks like Monte Casone and Monte Ortigara.
The rifugio sleeps around 50 guests in simple rooms with 4–8 beds per unit. Meals are hearty and filling: dinner is three courses with local cheese and salumi, breakfast includes bread and jam. The hut has hot showers, basic toilets, and a dining room with a wood stove. Water comes from a spring. Open late April through early October; opening and closing dates shift with snow melt and weather. The hut manages its own bookings and operates year-round for day visits in good conditions.
Book direct by phone or email, especially for July and August when weekends fill weeks ahead. The hut fills fastest mid-July to mid-August and during Italian public holidays. Off-season (May–June and September–October) rarely requires advance booking except weekends. Contact them directly for current rates and availability; they don't list on rifugi.net. Arrive by early afternoon to secure evening meals.
