About
Rifugio Malga Andalo sits at 1,357m in the Brenta Dolomites, a 90-minute walk from Andalo village via marked trails through beech forest. The hut works as a base for day hikes to Passo Grostè (2,127m) and longer traverses across the plateau. You can also approach from Molveno on the western side, a steeper 2-hour ascent. Summer crowds are manageable here compared to huts higher on the Brenta limestone.
The rifugio holds 60 beds in shared rooms. Half-board is standard: they serve mountain meals with local Val di Non produce. The kitchen handles vegetarian requests with notice. Showers are cold water only. The hut stays open June through September, with reduced service in shoulder months—check ahead before May or October. A small shop sells basic snacks and water bottles.
Book directly with the rifugio by phone or email. July and August weekends fill 4–6 weeks ahead. Mid-week slots and June/September dates are easier to secure. The hut accepts cash and cards. Parking is available in Andalo village (fee required in summer). Andalo is accessible by bus from Trento (45 minutes).
