About
Rifugio Malga Campei sits at 1,470m in the Dolomites foothills of Veneto, on the high pasture of Malga Campei. Reach it from Fiera di Primiero by walking 2.5 hours northeast through beech forest and open meadow. The route climbs steadily but without technical difficulty. Summer access is straightforward; winter snow can block the final section. This is a working mountain dairy, so you're staying at an active malga rather than a dedicated rifugio.
The refuge offers 30 beds across simple rooms. Meals center on local dairy products—cheese, yogurt, and milk from the herd on pasture. A basic kitchen serves hot food at lunch and dinner; half-board is standard. Water comes from the spring. There are no showers. The season runs June through September; call ahead in shoulder months as staffing is variable. The setting draws walkers linking the Val di Primiero with higher trails into the Pala group.
Book directly by phone or email through the local Primiero tourist office. July and August weekends fill quickly. June and September offer more flexibility. The hut fills with day-trippers on sunny weekends, so aim for weekday arrivals if you want a quieter stay.
