About
Rifugio Granezza sits at 1,242m on the eastern slopes of the Asiago Plateau in Veneto. Approach it from Asiago town (15km south) via the marked trail that climbs through beech forest—allow 3 hours on foot. Mountain bikers can reach it in 1.5 hours from Asiago along the gravel road. The hut works well as a base for day hikes across the plateau's rolling terrain or as a stop on longer traverses linking the Brenta Dolomites to the Lessini Mountains.
The rifugio is small, with beds for around 40 people. It serves hot meals at midday and evening; half-board is the standard arrangement. The kitchen can handle vegetarian and dietary requests if you notify ahead. Shower facilities are basic but adequate. The hut opens year-round, though winter visits require advance confirmation as staffing varies. The bar stocks beer and grappa.
Book 2–3 weeks ahead for weekends, especially during the hiking season (May to September). Contact the hut directly by phone or email—it's family-run and not part of the major Alpine club networks. Summer Saturdays and Sundays fill quickly. Out-of-season visits are possible but call first to confirm someone is present.
