Refuge Passo Xomo

Rifugio Passo Xomo sits at 2,050m on the Passo Xomo, a high pass linking the Veneto valleys. Reach it from the south via Passo Ghedina (2,135m), a 4–5 hour hike from the Tre Croci area. From the north, the approach from Val di Fassa takes 3–4 hours. The rifugio marks a key waypoint on longer ridge traverses and valley-to-valley crossings across the Dolomites.

The hut provides simple accommodation with meals served daily. Expect hearty mountain food rather than refinement—pasta, polenta, local cheese, and meat dishes fuel hikers well. Capacity is modest; the rifugio operates year-round but is most reliable June through September. Winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk.

Phone ahead to book a bed, especially in July and August when foot traffic increases. Contact the rifugio directly—cell reception here is variable, so call early in the day. Arrive before dark; headtorches fail. This is a working hut for through-hikers and ridge walkers, not a destination in itself. Come prepared for changeable weather and bring your own layers. Water is available on-site.
