This refuge was for many years the hunting lodge of Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy. It is located on the Valasco plain, an enchanting place in any season of the year and can be reached with a walk of about an hour from the Valdieri spa. A young and eager team will welcome you.

The refuge is for everyone: you can get there easily without much effort, in fact it is suitable even if you have children. In its internal courtyard you can find various tables where you can stop to enjoy the classic, but very good polenta concia. It can be reached via a path if we want to tackle it on an excursion or using a road that can be traveled by bike and e-bike.

The Valasco goes away once you take the wide ex military mule track 452 "Pian del Valasco - Lower Lake of Valscura" built in the thirties.
