About
Rifugio Malga Stain sits at 1835m in the South Tyrol Alps, accessed via hiking routes from the Val di Funes valley. The approach takes 2–3 hours depending on your starting point and fitness. This is serious mountain terrain—bring a detailed map and know your way before departure.
The refuge operates as a small mountain hut with 10 beds across shared rooms. Meals are available on request, though you should confirm availability when booking. There's no WiFi here, so come ready to disconnect. The season runs June through September, though dates shift with snow conditions. Basic facilities include hot water and toilets. This is a working mountain hut, not a hotel—expect simple, functional accommodation suited to hikers and climbers using it as a basecamp.
Book directly by email or phone at least two weeks ahead, especially for July and August weekends. Contact DAV management through Via Monte Colmo s.n.c. di Davide Moles. Half-board (bed plus meals) is the standard arrangement. Confirm your arrival time when booking so the guardians can prepare. This hut suits walkers comfortable with isolation and minimal services—you're coming here for the mountains, not the amenities.
