Rifugio Maria Vittoria Torrani
2,984m
Veneto, Italy
About
Rifugio Maria Vittoria Torrani sits at 2,984m on the slopes beneath Civetta, one of the Dolomites' most serious rock peaks. Reach it from Zoldo Alto in 3.5 hours via a steep, exposed scramble—not a walk. The hut's position makes it essential for Civetta ascents and a base for ridge traverses across the Nuvolau Group. The approach is relentless and the terrain loose in places, so allow extra time if you're not used to alpine scrambling.
The CAI-run hut has 34 beds split across small rooms. Meals are cooked daily and water is reliable. There's no WiFi—plan accordingly. The hut opens for summer season only, typically June through September, staffed by a guardian. Conditions can change fast at this elevation, so check the hut's weather information before committing to a summit attempt. Mountaineers use this hut seriously; crowds are minimal but the terrain demands experience and proper kit.
Book direct by email or phone through rifugi.cai.it well ahead for July and August. July is the busiest month. Contact the hut or CAI directly for exact opening dates and current conditions—this elevation means late-season snow and early autumn storms are real factors.
