About
Rifugio Maranza sits at 1,080m in the Asiago Plateau, reached via the Val d'Astico from Asiago town. The approach follows well-marked trails through beech forest and mixed woodland. Most hikers arrive in 2–3 hours from the valley floor. The hut serves as a natural base for exploring the plateau's network of lower-altitude routes, which makes it useful for acclimatisation days or easier walking after longer mountain stages elsewhere.
The rifugio has 30 beds across simple rooms and offers half-board (dinner, bed, breakfast) or room-only options. The kitchen serves Veneto specialities and straightforward mountain fare. There is hot water, basic shower facilities, and a small bar. The hut opens year-round, though winter demand depends heavily on snow conditions. Phone ahead if planning a winter visit.
Book by calling directly. Summer weekends (June–September) and peak Italian holiday periods fill quickly. Call at least 2–3 weeks ahead for weekends, longer for mid-July and August. Weekday visits are easier to arrange. Confirm your arrival time to ensure a hot meal on the day you arrive.
