Venture into the Orsiera Rocciavrè National Park for an unforgettable 5-day adventure through one of the most pristine alpine regions near Turin. The Tour of Orsiera is a demanding loop that combines wild ridges, deep forests, and high-altitude meadows, where marmots, chamois, ibex, and even wolves roam freely. Despite its proximity to the plains, this landscape remains untouched and remote, offering total immersion in nature. In autumn, you might witness the dramatic deer mating season, while spring and summer reveal blooming alpine flora. Nights are spent in lodges and unguarded huts, including the possibility to sleep atop Monte Robinet (2679 m) beneath an unforgettable sunrise. This trek delivers true wilderness, silence, and self-discovery — a perfect escape for those seeking challenge and solitude in the Italian Alps.

This is what in Italian is called Rifugio. In English you might call it Lodge or Mountain Shelter. Rifugio, like a Bivacco, is in the middle of the mountains and you can enjoy the night in the Italian Alps with a bit more of comfort as you will not need to bring any food as they serve dinner and breakfast, there is light, toilet, warming system. Also there is usually a Bar service so if you want to buy a beer or a genepy, the tipycal liquor of ther Italian Alps. Most of the shelter are open only during the summer(from July to first week of September) but some of them are opeoned all year long. The costs are pretty high as the food and every facilities are brought by elicopter.

In the Shelter you sleep in common room(sometimes 6-8 people sometimes 20) so anyway a bit of spirit of adventure is requiered. You need to bring a liner(light sleeping bag) or you will be able to rent it up there for around 5 euro. The rifugio is a good compromise for your alps trekking accomodation between comfort and wilderness.
