Rifugio Passo Staulanza

Rifugio Passo Staulanza sits at 2,130m on the Passo Staulanza, between the Civetta and Ra Gusela massifs in the Dolomites. The hut is reached from the south via the Val di Ghedina (4 hours from Colle Santa Lucia car park) or from the north from Fedare (3.5 hours). The direct approach from the Lago di Sorapis car park takes 4 hours across moderate terrain. Most hikers use this hut as a waypoint on the Alta Via 1 or to access the Civetta peaks.
The hut holds 50 beds across multiple rooms. Dinner and breakfast are standard fare; the kitchen serves hearty mountain food. Showers are available—rare enough at this elevation that it's worth noting. Opening runs May through October, though late May and early September can be quieter than July–August. The location gives direct access to scrambling on Ra Gusela and longer ridge walks toward Tre Croci.
Book 4–6 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. Contact the rifugio directly by phone; they do accept email but phone gets faster responses. Expect to pay roughly €30–35 for a bed, €18–22 for dinner. Half-board (bed, dinner, breakfast) runs around €60–65 per person. Cash is preferred; card acceptance is unreliable at this elevation and remoteness.
