Rifugio Fedare
2.7About
Rifugio Fedare sits at 2,000m in the Dolomites, accessible via hiking routes from the valley floors below. Most hikers approach from the south, a 3–4 hour trek gaining 800m through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The hut serves as a solid midpoint hub for traversing the surrounding ridges and peaks, with established trails connecting to neighboring rifugios and passes.
The rifugio accommodates 50–60 guests in mixed dorms and some private rooms. Meals are traditional mountain fare: hearty dinners and packed lunches available on request. Hot showers and basic washing facilities are standard. The bar stocks local wine and grappa. Opening season runs mid-June through late September, with occasional weekends open in shoulder months. Phone ahead to confirm.
Book directly by phone, especially for July and August weekends—the hut fills regularly during peak season. If July or August are your target months, call at least 6–8 weeks ahead. Shoulder season (June, September) offers more flexibility but still benefits from advance notice. Half-board (bed, dinner, breakfast) is the default arrangement. Bring cash; card payment is not always reliable.
