About
Malga Lunga sits at 1,235m in the Dolomites near the Val Gardena. Reach it from the village of Ortisei by hiking the Val Lunga trail, a steady ascent through larch forest taking about 2.5 hours. The hut is popular as a stopping point on longer ridge walks and as a base for exploring the surrounding pastures and limestone peaks.
The hut operates as a simple mountain dairy and refuge, serving hikers year-round. It offers basic dormitory beds and a small dining area where you can get hot meals and drinks. The facility is run by locals who maintain traditional alpine hospitality. Water comes from a natural spring. Don't expect amenities beyond shelter, food, and rest.
Book directly by phone or email ahead of your visit, especially in July and August. The hut fills quickly on weekends during the main hiking season (June to September). Winter access depends on snow conditions and is not guaranteed.
