The "Walter Bonatti" refuge, which opened on 1st Agosto 1998, is a typical construction in wood and stone. It faces a stirring view which embraces the entire mountain range: from Col Ferret to Col de la Seigne. Inside there is a cosy dining room, furnished with characteristic wood furniture with original dried flower compositions, and in winter, heated by a large majolica stove. The refuge can offer you different types of room: small rooms with two beds, six-bedded rooms and spacious dormitories. The rooms, which have beautiful views, take the name of the summit which they look out onto. The kitchen offers traditional dishes and typical Valle d'Aosta wines. Weather permitting, the specialities can also be enjoyed in the open on the wooden tables which are on the meadowland in front of the refuge. The W. Bonatti refuge, and other Valle d'Aosta refuges, are involved in the EEteam project, "Research - Intervention for the realization of environmental management systems for mountain refuges."
