Very friendly, nice rifugio, with everything a hiker needs: food, drink, warmth, telephone power and possibly an overnight stay. We recommend!

Nice walk, on the verge of mountaineering because of the fixed ropes that you can also not use. The path is slightly exposed in the final stretch you have to …

Great hike with a glacier crossing and the climb to Rocciamelone along the ridge on the north side. The path over and after the glacier is hardly marked, so it helps to look out for cairns.

Demanding, steep ascent to Passo Novalesa, then a beautiful path along and over the glacier (here the trail markers are sometimes difficult to find). Scenic descent to Lago di Malciaussia.
P.S. We did the tour in early September without climbing gear and crampons.
