Vaccari Aldo e Miranda

Veneto, Italy
About
Vaccari Aldo e Miranda sits at 2,050m in the Valle Piave, in the eastern Dolomites. You reach it from Passo Ghedina (1,520m) via a steep 2-hour ascent through mixed terrain. This is a working hut for hikers moving between valleys, not a destination for a casual afternoon. The location puts you at the intersection of several ridge walks that connect toward Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the Tre Sorelle.
The hut has 9 beds spread across basic dorm rooms. It operates staffed only during summer (typically June to September, but verify the exact dates). The CAI-managed facility provides shelter and a place to sleep; you'll need to carry your own food and water. There's no water on-site and no meals are served—bring everything you need for your stay. WiFi is not available, which means no weather updates or navigation assistance beyond what's in your pack.
Book directly through rifugi.cai.it. July and August fill fast, especially weekends—aim for 4–6 weeks ahead for peak season. June and September offer better availability and better hiking conditions. Contact the hut directly to confirm staffing dates before finalizing your itinerary, as CAI huts sometimes adjust opening dates based on weather and volunteer availability.
