The Crosta refuge is located along the route of the GTA, the Great Crossing of the Alps. It is located at an altitude of 1,751 meters and is surrounded by Alpe Solcio. It is open from June to the end of October. During the cold months the winter bivouac is always open and has eight beds.

Refuge on the Alpe Solcio di Varzo. Part of the GTA. Excellent cuisine and breathtaking views of the Val d’Ossola

Not just a crossing point but also a destination (well-managed refuge)
