Stöfflhütte - Rifugio Stöffl
4.1About
Stöfflhütte sits at 2,057m in the Veneto Alps, a solid base for ridge walks and day hikes across the high pastures and limestone peaks of the region. The hut is 3 hours from Passo Ghedina (2,135m) on foot. Most parties approach via the Tre Croci area or from the Tre Rifugi trail that connects the network of CAI huts across this sector. It's accessible year-round in good conditions, though snow can close access routes between November and April—check conditions before heading up.
The rifugio offers 30 beds in mixed dormitories and a few double rooms. Half-board is standard: simple mountain food, strong coffee, and cold beer. The kitchen serves lunch to day walkers. Toilets and washroom are basic but functional. Winter opening depends on snow clearance; phone ahead if you're visiting outside July and August. The hut sits on AVS (Alpine Association South Tyrol) territory despite being in Veneto, so expect South Tyrolean management and culture.
Book directly by email or phone—don't rely on online platforms for this hut. Call at least 10 days ahead for weekends in July and August; off-season you can often walk in. The hut fills quickly during fine weather in summer, particularly Thursday to Sunday. Winter weekends also draw crowds from nearby Cortina and Passo Ghedina ski areas, so book ahead then too.
