Gabiet

Located at an altitude of 2,375 metres in the heart of the Monterosa Ski area, the Gabiet mountain hut offers hospitality in a welcoming and authentic setting, furnished in keeping with Walser tradition. Accessible only on foot or by ski lift, it is the ideal destination for those who want to experience the mountains in a genuine way, both during the summer and winter seasons.

Inside the refuge, guests will find a bright dining room, a bar and a small relaxation area with a fireplace and library, perfect for quiet moments after a day spent outdoors. The rooms, which sleep two or four, are equipped with bunk beds with orthopaedic mattresses, warm duvets and heating to ensure a comfortable stay even at the highest altitudes.

The cuisine highlights the flavours of the Aosta Valley tradition, offering typical dishes accompanied by a selection of local wines. On clear days, the large outdoor terrace allows you to have lunch or relax while enjoying a splendid view of the surrounding peaks.

Directly overlooking the slopes in winter and surrounded by alpine trails in summer, the Gabiet Refuge is a perfect stop for those seeking nature, tranquillity and the authentic mountain atmosphere.
