Nice outing, for all levels

The hut has been successfully modernized, combining old and new. Not much of the old hut's charm remains, but everything is now more spacious, well-designed, and bright, including a wonderful lounge with panoramic windows. The hut can also be reached as a day trip by taking the bus to the dam and walking around the lake—with a coffee stop at the Chanrion Hut.

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.

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.

Beautiful refuge located on the Alta Via 1 and Tour du Gand Combin route, easily accessible in the summer

Fantastic pit stop on the way from Aosta Valley to Breuil Cervinia
