プラッツォの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

The Carmagnola bivouac was set up by the Municipality of Acceglio and the volunteers of the CAI Carmagnola in 2017. Not far from here, you can still see the old refuge set up in 1973 on the ruins of a former barracks that today is abandoned due to repeated acts of vandalism that have made the refuge unusable. In the bivouac you can find 10 beds with mattresses, pillows and blankets, the internal table with bench and stools and an area with a shelf for cooking. Outside there is also a table and a station for basic bicycle repairs. The effort to get up here is certainly well rewarded by the incredible panorama that surrounds you, we recommend that you take a moment to contemplate it.

The Bagnour refuge is located in the heart of the enchanting Alevé forest, the largest pine forest in Italy, at 2,017 meters above sea level. It has twenty beds and twenty-four internal seats, with half or full board service. The refuge is open every day from mid-June to mid-September, from September to June open on weekends and holidays (during the week only by reservation). The Bagnour refuge is the ideal destination for day trips or as a base for multi-day itineraries such as the Giro del Monviso.

High altitude refuge also reachable by car which is an excellent starting point for various excursions

The Fauniera refuge is located just 3 km from the top of the pass, going up the Val Grana slope (Pradleves), and right next to the Colle Esischie. It coincides with a section of the pass where the slope drops to 7% after overcoming several kilometers from the Santuario di San Magno where the gradient does not fall below 9%. The refuge is very pleasant as you can read in the reviews on Google. Without a doubt, it is the best refuge on this side.
