About
Rifugio Ghedina sits at 2,183m on the Passo Ghedina, between Cortina d'Ampezzo and Pocol in the Dolomites. Reach it via the paved road from Cortina (7km, 30 minutes by car) or walk from Pocol in 1.5 hours. The hut is also a junction point for trails into the Ra Ghedina and Tre Croci ranges. Most hikers treat it as a base for day walks rather than a overnight stop, though it functions as a proper rifugio.
The hut has 40 beds across rooms ranging from doubles to larger dorms. The kitchen serves lunch and dinner; half-board is available. It's open year-round, though staffing is minimal in winter. Facilities include a bar, basic heating in common areas, and pit toilets—nothing fancy, but adequate for mountain hiking. Water comes from a spring; the hut can get crowded on summer weekends.
Phone ahead to book beds, especially Friday to Sunday from June through September. The number is available through rifugio.net or directly via CAI. Expect busy conditions during August. The road access makes this hut popular with those who want mountain hiking without tent camping, so arrive early if you show up without a reservation.

Yes—the road access and short walk from Pocol make it accessible for less experienced hikers, and it works well as a day-hike base rather than requiring a full mountain traverse.
