Rifugio Furio Bianchet
5.0About
Rifugio Furio Bianchet sits at 1,250m in Val Vescovà, a base for the Alta Via delle Dolomiti n.1 traverse. The hut lies on the standard route between lower valley towns and the higher Dolomite ridges. Approach takes 2–3 hours from valley trailheads depending on your starting point. The building dates to 1973, converted from a forestry workers' accommodation into a proper mountain hut.
The CAI manages 52 beds across multiple rooms, plus 6 emergency places. Hot showers are available. The kitchen serves dinner and breakfast during the staffed season (summer months); in winter the hut remains open but unstaffed, so bring your own food. Drinking water runs from the tap. There is no WiFi. The hut works well for families tackling the Alta Via in stages, and mountain bikers use it as a waypoint on valley-to-ridge routes.
Book directly by email or phone—contact details are listed on rifugi.cai.it. For July and August, book at least 6–8 weeks ahead. Outside peak season, 2–3 weeks' notice usually suffices. Confirm the staffed dates before booking winter stays, as limited services apply.
