Schutzhütte Oberkaseralm
4.8About
Schutzhütte Oberkaseralm sits at 2,131m in the Veneto Alps, accessed from the Passo Ghedina valley. The standard approach takes 2.5 hours from Cortina d'Ampezzo via the Tre Croci pass trail. The hut works as a base for ridge walks across the Nuvolau group and day hikes into the Faloria range.
The hut holds 30 beds split across 4 private rooms and shared dormitories. Full meals and packed lunches are available—book dinner by early afternoon if you haven't reserved ahead. The kitchen handles vegetarian diets on request. Water comes from a spring; toilets are basic but functional. The hut opens June through September, with extended shoulder-season weekends depending on snow. Mobile signal is unreliable; plan accordingly.
Contact the hut directly by phone (+39 0436 5238) or email to reserve beds. July and August fill quickly—book at least 4–6 weeks ahead for weekends. June and September offer more flexibility. The hut prefers phone calls for same-week bookings. Check conditions before arriving; early and late season snow can make the approach impassable.
