About
Rifugio Peller sits at 2,022m in the Dolomites of Veneto, on the eastern flank of the Pelmo massif. Most hikers approach from Fedare valley to the south in 2.5–3 hours, gaining 800m steadily through beech and larch forest before breaking into alpine meadows. The hut anchors the high traverse routes across the Pelmo–Ra Gusela ridge system, making it essential for multi-day traverses of the Dolomites Alta Via 1 and Alta Via 5.
The rifugio holds 40 beds across shared dormitories and a few small doubles. Half-board is standard (dinner and breakfast included). The kitchen produces solid mountain food—expect pasta, polenta, local cheeses, and meat dishes. Water comes from a reliable spring. The hut operates May through October, closing heavily in shoulder seasons. Showers are available for a small fee. There is no wi-fi or mobile signal; expect silence and darkness at night.
Book direct by email or phone at least 8 weeks ahead for July and August. July weekends and early August fill completely. September and early October are quieter and often offer better weather. The hut is managed by a CAI member; payment is typically cash on arrival, though you should confirm methods when booking.
