Quaint Riffugio, even with a small sauna.

The Rifugio Vieux Crest welcomes hikers in the heart of the Walser village of Crest, a few steps from Alta Via 1. Created from an ancient 17th-century rascard, it combines the rustic charm of tradition with warm and attentive hospitality.

Here you can eat well, sleep comfortably and relax in front of a view that embraces the entire Val d'Ayas, with Monte Rosa in the background. It is the perfect place to recharge, letting yourself be enveloped by the silence and the scent of ancient wood.
