About
Rifugio Monte Tomba sits at 1,766m on the eastern edge of the Dolomites, above Feltre in Veneto. Reach it from Passo Ghedina (1,601m) in 1.5 hours on a well-marked trail. The path climbs steadily through beech forest then opens into alpine meadow. You can also approach from Pedavena or via longer routes from the Val Caorera—most hikers allow 2.5 to 3 hours from the valley floor.
The rifugio holds around 50 beds in simple rooms. Half-board is standard (dinner, bed, breakfast), with a straightforward kitchen that relies on good pasta, polenta, and local cheeses. The hut runs year-round, though expect reduced service November through March. Showers are available. Staff speak Italian and basic English. The location works well as a base for day walks across the moorland plateau or as a transit point on longer ridge traverses toward the Tre Cime area.
Book by phone or email directly with the rifugio. July and August fill weekends three to four weeks ahead. Shoulder seasons (May, June, September) are much quieter. The hut is managed independently rather than by a CAI or SAT club, so check their website or contact them before assuming amenities—kitchen hours and meal options vary with staffing. Arrive by 6pm to guarantee dinner if you've reserved.
