Cabane Bertol



Amidst the gigantic shapes, you’re longing for a homey feeling, baked goodies,
vegetable stews, wine beverages, in other words; a full belly, Cabane Bertol is the place for you. Haute Route is a lengthy walking trail
connecting Chamonix to Zermatt and it is tough for the mountain climbers
to ascend to reach the much rewarding Cabane Bertol (3,311 meters), by a series of fixed ladders and chain.

Rifugio Lagazuoi



The Rifugio Lagazuoi, is less a hut than a mountainous haven. Alma and Guido, the beaming
keepers of the Italy’s Alta via 1 paradise point will exceed your expectations of hospitality;
offering private accommodations, a lively bar, and a pleasant restaurant to eat in.
The path to the hut has obstacles of course, but what follows will make every step of the way,
worth it. Don’t forget to order the apple strudel ��" a local specialty.

Rifugio Coldai



2,135m above the rest of the world, Rifugio Coldai is another reminder of modern civilization
on the Alta via 1. The bold ones who venture into the rugged terrain of Dolomite will not be disappointed by the lit
and dry dining room, with a serving of homemade gnocchi drizzled with olive oil, fresh minestrone soup, and a
towering tiramisu, exploding with rich mascarpone cream.
It will be enough to forget the 175 miles of trekking with your nerves on hold.

Monte Rosa-Huette



The Swiss news outlet that entitled the Monte Rosa hut, as a “futuristic Eco-hut”
could never have spoken more truthfully. Completely reconstructed in 2009,
2,883m on the base of the highest peak in Switzerland. It is a beautiful building, blending in
with its splendid environment. Stainless steel, aluminum, and wood, satisfy 90 percent of
its energy needs through solar power; very Eco-friendly.
