Hiking
The Barbara Lowrie refuge is located in Pis della Rossa, in the Carbonieri valley of Bobbio Pellice. It was built in 1928 by a Canadian couple, Walter and Barbara Lowrie, who used it as a hunting lodge. Later, they sold it to the CAI UGET who turned it into a refuge, inaugurating it in 1931.
It has a capacity of 24 beds and is open every day from May to October with bar service, restaurant and overnight stay.

Located in an enchanting place in Val Pellice, the Refuge area is always very busy, also because it can be reached by car on a paved road.

The Barbara refuge can be reached starting from Perlà hamlet before entering Bobbio Pellice. Narrow valley at the beginning with the rushing torrent with 2 small private power plants.
It starts with chestnut trees but quickly climbing with steep slopes of even 20% it widens with magnificent pine forests until almost at the bottom of the valley where the refuge is located on the left. The refuge is part of the competitive tour of the 3 refuges.
IMPORTANT: there are 4 220V sockets to recharge the batteries.
