バニョーロピエモンテの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Tough climb but quite fast.

Located a few kilometers from Bobbio Pellice in the Pis della Rossa area, in the Carbonieri valley, the refuge is located in a splendid place where you can spend one or more days with family or friends surrounded by nature.

The first structure of the Pian del Re refuge hotel was built by the Municipality of Crissolo in 1874 to accommodate mountaineers intent on climbing the Normal route of Monviso. In 1909 it became privately owned and management passed to the Perotti family, a historic dynasty of mountain guides of Monviso. Numerous paths start from here, both for day trips and for multi-day treks, such as the Giro del Monviso, or mountaineering itineraries, including the Normal route of Monviso. The refuge is open every day from the beginning of June to the end of September and offers 30 beds, in addition to a bar and restaurant service.

The Barbara Lowrie refuge is located in Pis della Rossa, in the Carbonieri valley of Bobbio Pellice. It was built in 1928 by a Canadian couple, Walter and Barbara Lowrie, who used it as a hunting lodge. Later, they sold it to the CAI UGET who turned it into a refuge, inaugurating it in 1931. It has a capacity of 24 beds and is open every day from May to October with bar service, restaurant and overnight stay. For more information, visit the refuge website: https://www.rifugiobarbara.it.

The Barbara refuge can be reached starting from Perlà hamlet before entering Bobbio Pellice. Narrow valley at the beginning with the rushing torrent with 2 small private power plants. It starts with chestnut trees but quickly climbing with steep slopes of even 20% it widens with magnificent pine forests until almost at the bottom of the valley where the refuge is located on the left. The refuge is part of the competitive tour of the 3 refuges. IMPORTANT: there are 4 220V sockets to recharge the batteries.

The climb is approximately 250 meters of large stones, the notches are barely intravenous, recommended only in dry periods

Technically demanding route. I do not recommend it to the inexperienced without a guide.

A fairly demanding peak, which offers a wonderful view of Monviso and the surrounding valleys.
