Hiking
At an altitude of 2,640 m, stands the refuge named after Quintino Sella, an Italian scientist, economist and politician. Passionate about mountaineering, during the time of his political experience he founded in 1863 the C.A.I. (Club Alpino Italiano) to relaunch and expand the Italian Alpine cultural knowledge. He was at the head of the first Italian expedition that reached the summit of Monviso.
