About
Rifugio Malghette sits at 1,890m in the Venetian Prealps, a solid base for ridge walks and valley exploration. Reach it via the Sorgazza valley from Seren del Grappa (Belluno province). The approach takes 2.5–3 hours on well-marked paths through beech forest and alpine meadow. Winter snow can make the route tricky; check conditions before heading up.
The rifugio accommodates 50 people across mixed dormitory rooms and a few doubles. Meals are hearty and kitchen-focused—expect pasta, local cheeses, and game in season. Hot showers run on a timer. The hut stays open mid-June through September most years, though opening dates shift with spring snowmelt. Phone ahead in early season. Half and full board options available; bring cash as card payment is unreliable this far from valley towns.
Book in May for July and August weekends. Contact the rifugio directly by phone or email rather than relying on online platforms; they answer reliably but prefer calls. The hut fills quickly during the school holidays (mid-August). Weekdays in June and September are quiet and the weather can be excellent.
