Trattoria Arnica
1.4
Veneto, Italy
About
Trattoria Arnica sits at 1,550m in the Dolomites of Veneto, accessible via a 2.5-hour walk from Passo Ghedina. The approach is steady and well-marked, gaining 600m through open meadows and larch forest. Winter access is difficult; confirm conditions before attempting a visit outside summer months.
The hut sleeps 40 across simple rooms and offers hearty meals in its restaurant. Flush toilets are available. Half-board is standard. The kitchen serves local Veneto fare and caters to hikers with early breakfasts and packed lunches. Water comes from a reliable spring. The hut operates year-round but is quietest in shoulder seasons; July and August see heavy weekend traffic from valley visitors. Reservations are essential during school holidays.
Book by phone directly with the hut. Call ahead even for single nights, particularly Friday to Sunday. The hut fills quickly during summer weekends and holiday weeks. Weekday visits in June or September offer better availability and a calmer atmosphere for serious hikers planning multi-day traverses through the range.
