Hi I am planning to hike a shortened version of the Alta Via 1 in June 2027 (exit at Allegh) with a group of 6-8 people.
I am planning my own itinerary and my main issue is that I have heard booking the Rifugio especially for such a large group is very difficult and that you need to book it the day it opens. I have already emailed the Rifugio to ask for the date it opens but I am still scared if I am unable to get a bed for all of us. In your experience is it actually as competitive as i’ve heard.
I’m thinking of the following Rifugio: \- Sennes (November open) \- Lagazoui (Didn’t reply to me) \- Averau (July) \- Citta di Fiume (October) \- Tissi (October)
I can’t confirm the trip till August-September. Do you think Averau would be fully booked by then? Should I plan an alternative? Thanks #activity #hiking source
