Pisciadùhütte, Mountain hut in Alta Badia, Italy
The Pisciadù Hut sits at 2585 meters in the northern Sella Group next to a turquoise lake ringed by limestone cliffs. It provides about 100 sleeping spots and a dining room for climbers and hikers.
The Italian Alpine Club of Bologna founded this mountain refuge in 1903 to provide shelter for climbers in the Dolomites. The structure was built when this region became an important destination for mountaineers.
The hut serves traditional Ladin dishes that reflect South Tyrol's mountain cooking with Italian and German influences. Guests experience the specific flavors of this trilingual region as part of everyday dining.
The hut operates from June to September and serves as a base for hikers on the Dolomites High Trail 2. Visitors should bring sturdy boots and prepare for changeable mountain weather.
The refuge sits beside Lake Pisciadù at the foot of vertical rock walls that rise sharply into the sky. It is reached via the challenging Tridentina via ferrata, which adds extra excitement for adventurous visitors.
