Rifugio Giovanni Angelini
5.0About
Rifugio Giovanni Angelini sits at 1,588m in Val di Zoldo, above the village of Zoldo Alto. The hut lies on the main hiking route through the valley and works as a basecamp for day walks into the surrounding Dolomite ridges. You can reach it in 2–3 hours from Zoldo Alto on a well-marked trail, or approach from the east via Rifugio Fedare. The hut was rebuilt in 1990 from an older shelter and now serves as a proper staging point for walkers exploring this quieter corner of the Veneto.
The rifugio has 28 beds across multiple rooms, plus 5 emergency places. Meals are served daily during summer season. You'll find hot showers and reliable drinking water. There's no WiFi—bring a book. The hut operates staffed from mid-June through September, with opening dates depending on snow. Outside summer months it's open but unstaffed, so you'll need to be self-sufficient and arrange access in advance.
Book directly by email or phone through rifugi.cai.it. July and August fill 6–8 weeks out. If you're visiting June or September, book 3–4 weeks ahead. Winter access requires contacting the hut manager directly to arrange keys and supplies.
