A marvel.

There is a legend that hovers around the Rutor glacier which tells that the place now occupied by the glacier was once a large green meadow where the cows of a rich farmer grazed. One day God wanted to test his goodness and sent him a beggar to ask for some milk to feed his family. The rich farmer, instead of giving him some of his milk, mocked the beggar and, out of insult, ordered his workers to pour the buckets of fresh milk on the lawn. The beggar reacted by casting a curse on him that made it snow for days on end. Accompanying the snow was also a very cold wind which caused the green pastures to turn into ice. Thus the Rutor glacier was born.

The Alberto Deffeyes refuge is a refuge located in the municipality of La Thuile (AO), in the La Thuile valley, in the Graian Alps, at 2,500 meters above sea level. It was built in 1953 and dedicated to Albert Deffeyes. It is located at the foot of the Testa del Rutor peak and the Rutor glacier in a basin particularly rich in alpine lakes. It is the stopping point of the Alta via della Valle d'Aosta n. 2. It also offers the possibility of climbing almost overlooking the adjacent lake with various routes from grade 5c to 7a. http://www.rifugiodeffeyes.it/
