Baita Sezionale Candido Viberti

Baita Sezionale Candido Viberti sits at 1800m in the Savoie region of the French Alps, managed by CAI Sezione di Rivoli. The hut serves as a base for hiking in the surrounding terrain and sits within reach of the Parc National de la Vanoise. Access is primarily on foot from lower valleys; expect 2–3 hours from the nearest trailhead depending on your starting point. The hut is accessible year-round on foot during snow-free months, typically May to October.
The hut offers modest mountain accommodation with a capacity of around 30 people. Meals are provided on a half-board basis during the main season. Facilities include basic dormitory sleeping, a common room, and outdoor space. Water comes from natural sources on-site. There is no electricity or heating beyond what the season provides, so bring warm layers even in summer. The hut operates year-round, though staffing and services are reduced outside July and August.
Book direct with CAI Sezione di Rivoli well in advance for July and August—minimum 4–6 weeks. Outside peak season, contact the hut directly to confirm availability and whether a guardian is present. Payment is cash-preferred; confirm options when booking. Arrive with enough daylight to settle in. The hut sits on established trails, but navigation in poor visibility requires map and compass skills.
