Three hikers following an alpine ridge trail towards a stone mountain refuge

An overnight pack, mountain paths and two nights around a refuge.

Leave the valley behind and travel light. The refuge becomes the centre of a compact mountain journey, with open ridgelines by day and a shared table at night. For confident walkers who enjoy uneven terrain and the simple rhythm of mountain accommodation.
