Ütia de Scotoni - Scotoni-Hütte - Rifugio Scotoni
3.4About
Ütia de Scotoni sits at 1,985m in the Dolomites on the Passo Ghedina, between Cortina d'Ampezzo and Colle Santa Lucia. The hut is accessible by foot from multiple directions: 2.5 hours from Cortina via the Tre Croci trail, or 3 hours from the Passo Fedare. Most hikers approach from Cortina, which is the most straightforward route. In winter, road access from the pass is possible when the road is open, shortening the commitment significantly.
The hut is a working mountain restaurant with simple overnight accommodation for about 40 people in basic double and triple rooms. Meals are traditional Dolomite fare: hearty pasta, local cheese, cured meats, and plenty of coffee. The kitchen is reliable and portions are generous. Facilities include hot showers and basic heating. The hut operates year-round, though staffing and availability are tighter in shoulder seasons. Half-board is standard and reasonable value. This is not a luxury refuge—expect practical functionality rather than comfort.
Book directly by phone for late-notice arrivals, especially midweek. Email works well for advance planning. July and August weekends require booking 4–6 weeks ahead. June, September, and October have shorter lead times. Winter weekdays are often walk-in friendly. The hut sits on a major through-route in the Dolomites, so it fills quickly during school holidays and peak season.
