Situated at 2,060 meters above sea level, the Rifugio Guide di Frachey is located in the beautiful Ayas Valley. Nestled in the green pastures of Alpe Forcaz, it offers breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding mountains. This refuge is an ideal starting point for hikes around Monte Rosa, as well as for the Alta Via No. 1 and No. 3 and the Grande Sentiero Walser.
The refuge's welcoming, family-like atmosphere is one of its strengths. Guests frequently praise the staff's hospitality, which contributes to a warm and relaxing atmosphere.
