About
Rifugio Pompeo Scalorbi sits at 1,767m in the Veneto Alps, accessible via hiking from the Passo Falzarego area or from Cortina d'Ampezzo. The approach takes 2–3 hours depending on your route and fitness. This is a working hut in the Dolomites foothills, not a destination for casual day-trippers.
The rifugio has 25 beds across multiple rooms. You'll get a simple dinner and breakfast included with overnight stays. The kitchen handles vegetarian and standard Alpine fare. Water comes from the mountain. Facilities are basic but functional: pit toilets and washbasins. The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions—contact ahead if you're planning outside summer months. CAI manages the refuge.
Book by phone directly with the hut. Peak season (July–August) fills up 4–6 weeks in advance, especially weekends. June and September are quieter but reliable. Winter trips need confirmation that the hut is staffed and accessible. The hut accepts cash and basic card payments; confirm payment methods when you call. Half-board (bed + dinner + breakfast) is the standard arrangement; day visits for meals are possible if space allows, but don't rely on it.
