Refuge Marco Balicco All'Azzaredo

Rifugio Marco Balicco All'Azzaredo sits at 1963m in the Italian Alps, accessible via hiking routes from the Azzaredo valley. The approach takes around 3–4 hours from the nearest road access, crossing mountain terrain typical of this region. The hut serves as a base for day hikes and traverses in the surrounding high country.
The refuge accommodates 6 people across mixed dormitory sleeping arrangements. Meals and basic supplies are available when the hut is staffed. Water comes from a natural source nearby. The hut operates seasonally during the summer hiking months; exact opening dates depend on snow conditions and staffing availability, so confirm directly before planning your trip.
Contact the managing CAI section directly for current booking information, opening dates, and staffing schedules. Small refugios at this altitude and capacity fill quickly during July and August, particularly on weekends. Email or phone booking is essential—walk-ins may find the hut closed or full. Expect simple conditions: no electricity, heating, or shower facilities. Bring a sleeping bag liner and prepare for basic alpine accommodation.
