About
Rifugio Finonchio Fratelli Filzi sits at 1,603m on the slopes above the Astico Valley in the Venetian Pre-Alps. The hut is reached from Passo Xomo (1,445m) via a marked trail that takes roughly 1 hour on foot. The approach is straightforward and suitable for most hill walkers. From the Astico Valley floor, allow 3 to 4 hours of climbing from trailheads near Rocchette or Lastebasse.
The rifugio operates as a simple mountain shelter with 13 beds split between shared rooms. A small kitchen serves hot meals and drinks; half-board is available on request. Flush toilets are installed. The hut operates year-round and works well as a base for day walks across the ridges and valleys of this quieter corner of the Veneto Alps. Weather exposure is moderate; afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer.
Contact the hut directly by phone to reserve beds, especially for weekends or holiday periods. July and August see steady traffic. The hut is unmanned on some weekdays in low season, so confirm opening dates before making the journey. Arrival by mid-afternoon ensures you have time to settle before dark.
