The Rifugio Oratorio di Cunéy, perched at 2,652 meters in the heart of the Saint-Barthélemy valley, stands next to the sanctuary of the Madonna delle Nevi, one of the highest in Europe. Built on the ruins of a chapel dating back to 1656, it now welcomes hikers with simple warmth, wooden rooms, and home-cooked food, becoming a refuge and place of pilgrimage. The path to reach it from Lignan or Porliod winds through larch forests, pastures, and alpine lakes, up to the panoramic Col du Salvé, a prelude to the Cunéy basin, where the surrounding peaks protect this wild and sacred corner. In a single dive, sacredness merges with the mountain warmth: here the silence is profound, interrupted only by the wind and prayers, and every night captures the essence of haute montagne and alpine simplicity. At the back, a winter shelter (open all year round) is available to hikers who, having reached this place, wish to stop for the night, although the refuge and chapel are closed during the winter and low season.

Rifugio Jean Barmasse, at 2,169 meters above sea level in Valtournenche, is a welcoming refuge that welcomes hikers looking for tranquility and breathtaking views.

Its strategic position makes it an ideal starting point for exploring the wonders of Alta Via 1 and the surrounding mountains.

near the refuge, the oratory is a witness to mountain civilization. Worth seeing are the ex-votos of the locals. Always open, the oratory reflects the great sacredness of the places and the mountains around.

Magià is a mountain refuge in the Valle d'Aosta. It is located in the Saint-Barthélemy Valley, at 2007 meters above sea level, in the La Servaz area of the municipality of Nus (AO). The wild charm of the high mountain forests and prairies. The primitive beauty of the ridges and peaks. The magic of a clear starry sky that takes your breath away. Traveling through the Saint-Barthélemy Valley means immersing yourself in one of the most authentic and unspoiled natural environments, not only in the Valle d'Aosta, but in the entire Alpine region. From the mountain hut you can take numerous easy and moderate walks. You can choose the excursion that suits you: several circuits are within everyone's reach! Other, slightly more challenging trails will take you to some of the peaks that surround us, from where you can admire unforgettable views. Reaching Rifugio Magià is also very pleasant by bike (to try with rental e-bikes), the farm road is largely flat in spring and summer and easily accessible for adults and children!
