About
Rifugio Monte Lefre sits at 1,300m in the Veneto Alps, accessible from the villages in the Asiago Plateau. The approach takes 2–3 hours from Asiago town on marked paths through beech and spruce forest. Most hikers start from Rifugio Campobon (1,589m) and descend northwest for 1.5 hours to reach the hut, making it a natural rest point on longer traverses across the plateau. Winter access is weather-dependent; confirm conditions before heading up.
The rifugio sleeps around 40 people in simple dorm rooms. Half-board and full-board options are available; meals focus on local Veneto specialties. The kitchen provides packed lunches for day hikers. There is no shower, and water comes from a spring. The hut runs year-round but staff numbers drop in low season, so facilities are more basic November through March.
Book by phone directly with the rifugio to confirm availability and meal arrangements. July and August need 2–3 weeks' notice; shoulder seasons are less crowded. The hut caters mainly to CAI groups and local hikers, so advance notice helps them prepare. Cell coverage is patchy at this elevation—call from town before you leave.
