About
Rifugio Stivo Prospero Marchetti sits at 2,012m in the Dolomites above the Val d'Oten in Veneto. Reach it from Passo Ghedina (1,990m) via a marked trail in roughly 30 minutes. The hut works as a base for walking the surrounding limestone ridges and traversing toward Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Summer hikers use it as a transit point on multi-day routes through the northeastern Dolomites.
The rifugio has 20 beds in small dormitories and basic private rooms. Half-board (dinner and breakfast) is the standard arrangement. The kitchen provides hearty mountain food—expect polenta, casunziei, and local cheeses. Water comes from a spring. There is no shower. The hut stays open June through September, weather permitting.
Email the hut directly to book. July and August require booking 4–6 weeks ahead. June and September fill less predictably but still need advance notice. The hut is staffed year-round by the manager but operates seasonally due to snow. Confirm opening dates before traveling in shoulder months.
