A small but welcoming refuge, it is the highest on the Alta Via and the Tour dei Giganti with its 2652m. Next to the refuge it is possible to visit the highest Mauritanian sanctuary in Europe. Numerous excursions start from the refuge.

The Cuney oratory refuge is the highest refuge of the Alte Vie della Valle d'Aosta and of the Tour des Géants, located at 2,652 meters above sea level. From here it is possible to admire Monte Rosa, Gran Paradiso and Rutor. Nearby is the sanctuary of Our Lady of the Snows, the highest Mauritanian sanctuary in Europe. A short ride away is Lac de l'Ermite, a small but beautiful lake surrounded by mountain walls. From there you can also enjoy a splendid view of the valley.
