Grilled Trout
Caught fresh from our own pond in front of the lodge and cooked to order. Summer only.
Since 1999
A legacy of Ladin hospitality.
Renovated in 1999, Baita Vallongia stands at the foot of the majestic Sassolungo, with a spectacular view of the Sella massif. More than a refuge: a place where time slows down and the pure mountain air sets the mind free.
Between white fir wood walls, the atmosphere is that of a traditional stube: warm, authentic, lovingly run by the family.

Snapshots of the lodge, the mountains and hospitality, season after season.
Where it all began
In 1979, the first Baita Vallongia was born — a simple, authentic refuge immersed in the silence of the Dolomites. From this small building grew a story of hospitality that continues to this day.
The family's first lodge
The original hut, surrounded by the meadows of Plan de Gralba, welcomed hikers and skiers with the warmth of Ladin tradition and mountain cuisine.
The wood that holds our story
For the 1999 rebuild, imposing white fir trunks were chosen and carefully worked to bring the new lodge to life. Those beams are still the heart of the structure today, telling a story of tradition, craftsmanship and respect for the mountain.
A new lodge takes shape
In 1999, Baita Vallongia was completely rebuilt. Stone, wood and craftsmanship came together to create the refuge that still welcomes guests in the heart of the Dolomites today.
A space to share the mountains
After the pandemic, Baita Vallongia gained a new panoramic veranda. Designed to offer guests even more comfort, it lets you experience the beauty of the Dolomites in every season, surrounded by light and alpine scenery.
Tradition looks to the future
The veranda represents the evolution of Baita Vallongia: a bright, welcoming space where the warmth of wood meets the Dolomites' panorama. A place designed for authentic moments, without losing the spirit of tradition.
