The Vallanta refuge is located at 2,450 meters above sea level, under the west face of Monviso. It is an excellent stopover for those who travel the Giro del Monviso, but also for those who love mountaineering and reaching the peaks above.

The refuge is open from mid-June to mid-September, during the closing period a spacious winter bivouac is available. In summer, reservations are required to stay overnight.

Hiking

It's a great hideaway in so many ways! Its unique architecture and its location at the foot of Mont Viso and Lake Grande di Viso give it a certain charm. Add to that a warm atmosphere and you have everything you need for a good evening after a day of hiking.

Beautiful view of the Monviso. Done in EMTB all in the saddle, nice very steep path at the beginning "then flattens ..."
