Rifugio Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata al Mulaz
5.0About
Rifugio Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata al Mulaz sits at 2,571m in the Valle di Focobon, a quieter corner of the Veneto Dolomites. Reach it from Passo Fedare (2,057m) in about 3 hours of steady climbing northeast through alpine meadow. The approach is straightforward and well-marked, making this a logical basecamp for traversing this less-crowded region.
The hut has 51 beds plus 12 emergency places in simple, clean rooms. The kitchen serves hot meals and packed lunches. Water comes straight from the mountain. WiFi works reliably—useful if you need to check forecasts or reroute. The hut operates year-round, though staffing is reliable only June through September. Winter visits require advance coordination to confirm someone is present. The building itself dates to 1907 with substantial renovations in 1960.
Book directly by email or phone through the CAI website (rifugi.cai.it). July and August fill 8–10 weeks ahead, especially weekends. June, September, and early October offer better availability. The hut can usually accommodate walk-ins on weekdays outside peak season, but don't rely on it. Email contact is most reliable for off-season visits. If you're planning a multi-day loop through this valley, book all huts at once—the web of trails here works better than a simple linear traverse.
