About
Rifugio Barbara Lowrie sits at 1757m in the Val Pellice, managed by CAI Uget Val Pellice. The hut serves as a base for hiking in the southern Cottian Alps, well-positioned for day walks and multi-day routes through the Parc de la Vallée Po. Access is by trail from the valley floor; allow 3–4 hours from Bobbio Pellice depending on your fitness and route choice. The approach is straightforward but steady, gaining roughly 800m elevation.
The rifugio has flush toilets and offers basic mountain accommodation. Capacity is limited, so expect a small, working hut rather than a full-service facility. Meals and refreshments are available if you've booked ahead. The hut runs seasonally; summer (June through September) is the main operating period, though shoulder months see activity too. Check opening dates before planning a visit, as conditions and staffing vary year to year.
Book directly with CAI Uget Val Pellice by email or phone. Weekend slots in July and August fill fast; book at least 4–6 weeks ahead for peak season. Mid-week visits in June, September, and early October are easier to arrange. Confirm current opening dates and meal availability when you contact them, as this is a smaller rifugio and schedules can shift.
