About
Rifugio Stoppani sits at 2,439m on the Plateau of Asiago in the Veneto region. The hut anchors access to the eastern Dolomites and surrounding ridges. Most hikers arrive via the Asiago plateau trail system—count on 3–4 hours from Asiago town. In winter, approach from the south via Val d'Assa is often more reliable than northern routes.
The rifugio maintains 40 beds across shared rooms. Meals focus on regional Veneto cuisine; half-board is standard. Running water and basic heating are reliable. The hut operates year-round, though winter staffing is lighter. Summer sees day-trippers as well as through-hikers tackling multi-day traverses of the plateau and into the Brenta group to the west.
Book directly by email—contact details are on cai.it. July and August fill 4–6 weeks ahead. June and September are quieter but still busy weekends. Winter climbing and ski-touring access the surrounding crags and easier slopes; email ahead to confirm staffing levels for shoulder seasons.
