The Quintino Sella Refuge is the ideal base for the Giro del Monviso. From here you can start the climb to the Normal Route of Monviso. If you want information on the ascent and advice on contacting a guide, ask at the refuge.

The refuge is dedicated to Quintino Sella, a great Italian mountaineer who led the first Italian expedition to the summit of Monviso in August 1863. He founded the Italian Alpine Club.

The opening period is approximately from mid-June to the end of September (depending on snow conditions). During the rest of the year, a winter bivouac is available. In summer, advance reservation of a bed is required. For more information: rifugiosella.it.

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.
