The experience of reaching a mountain hutby snowmobile, on snowshoes or even on foot, surrounded by silence is unforgettable. Savour the striking atmospheres of an evening spent on the mountains, sitting in front of a fireplace and enjoying the flavours of Trentino's dishes, before perhaps taking a thrilling sled ride back down by torchlight.
Dinner in a Trentino mountain hut is a unique experience. A voyage of discovery among a myriad of flavours, giving guests a chance to taste dishes such as grilled polenta with cheese or mushrooms, strangolapreti, orzotto and game as well as traditional cold cuts, salamis and cheeses, and taste the much cherished deserts and grappas that traditionally bring a mountain meal to a close.
In winter, dinner is served in mountain huts throughout Trentino's skiing districts, with guests travelling up the slopes on snowmobiles or snow-cats - and in some cases even making their way back down on sleds or using snowshoes.
Evenings in Val di Fassa at the Baita Ciampié in Val San Nicolò - a branch valley of the Val di Fassa - and at the Rifugio Fuchiade in Passo San Pellegrino are truly extraordinary, as are those in Val di Fiemme, at the Baita Caserina on the Alpe di Pampeago, the Baita Ciamp de le Strie on the Alpe di Lusia or at the Capanna Cervino in Passo Rolle.
In Val di Sole, wonderful evenings can also be enjoyed at the Rifugio Orso Bruno, at the Rifugio Solander or at the Malga Panciana in Marilleva as well as at the Chalet degli Angeli in Folgarida and the Rifugio Scoiattolo and Doss dei Gembri in Peio.
The Cascina Zeledria, Malga Ritorto, Malga Montagnoli and the restaurant Boch and the Stoppani Grosté in Madonna di Campiglio can be reached on snow-cats in the evenings.
In Paganella, visitors can spend the evening at Baita Pineta, Casina Bruniol and La Tana dell'Ermellino - which also provides horse-drawn sleighs for transport. The Stella d'Italia mountain hut is open in Folgaria, as well as the Rifugio Baita Tonda (Serrada) and the restaurant Malga Ortesino, while in Lavarone it's possibe to dine at the restaurant refuge Tana Incantata on Mount Tablat.
