This refuge, dedicated to Vitale Giacoletti, is strategically located for ascents of the adjacent peaks and is one of several so-called Viso refuges, located along the various routes of the Viso. While Punta Losas, east of Giacoletti, offers no technical difficulty, those to the west—Monviso, Pointe de Rome, Pointe d'Udine, and Pointe de Venise—require excellent technical ability. Another beautiful via ferrata is the Col du Coloir du Porc, a pass that separates Pointe d'Udine from Pointe de Venise. From here, you can descend into France to the Viso refuge, then climb back up to Punta delle Traversette and, thanks to the short Buco del Viso tunnel (about 80 meters), return to Pian del Re.

Ideally located refuge, obviously, clean, efficient, good meals and a very good hiker's picnic!

Situated at 2,741 metres above sea level, the Giacoletti refuge overlooks the imposing north face of Monviso. It is located on the Colle del Losas, at the foot of Punta Udine. The original structure was built on the ruins of a military barracks and inaugurated in 1961. Over the years it underwent several expansions until reaching its current form. The Giacoletti refuge is open every day from mid-June to mid-September and has 56 beds. Various mountaineering itineraries start from here. It is also the ideal destination for a day trip, as well as an excellent base for the Giro del Monviso. For more information, visit the website: https://www.giacoletti.it.
