Stay, when themountains fall quiet.
A night at 2,109 metres: warm parlours, honest cooking and alpenglow on your doorstep.
The hut
A house on the Seceda Alp,since 1937.
The Fermeda Hut stands at 2,109 metres, in the heart of the UNESCO Dolomites World Natural Heritage site and the Puez-Odle Nature Park. No traffic, no noise: the cable car ends at the Col Raiser top station, and the rest is a 15-minute walk along a level forest road.
Those who stay overnight watch the sunsets from the terrace and are among the first outside the next morning, whether on the slope or on the way into the Odle group.

In winter the hut stands directly on the ski slope. If you travel with a rucksack, take the slope to the Fermeda chairlift and you reach the house halfway along.

You buy your ski pass directly at the valley station of the Col Raiser cable car.
In winter 2025/26 the hut was open from 5 December to 7 April. It has not yet published its 2026/27 dates, so please ask.
