Refuge Mondovì - Havis De Giorgio
4.1Rifugio Mondovì - Havis De Giorgio
About
Rifugio Mondovì sits at 1,761m on the western slopes of the Maritime Alps in Liguria. Reach it from Mondovì town (580m) via the Pian del Lupo trail—a steady 4-hour climb gaining 1,180m with decent path marking. The hut serves as a hub for day hikes across the Marguareis plateau and ridge traverses toward the Col della Nava. Winter access depends on snow conditions; contact the hut before attempting visits outside summer months.
The rifugio holds 42 beds split across multiple rooms. It serves dinner and breakfast daily in season and stocks basics for packed lunches. WiFi is available. Facilities include a wood stove and a gas heater for the shoulder seasons. The hut operates year-round but staffing is minimal in winter—always call ahead if visiting November through March. Toilets are basic and hot water is seasonal.
The CAI Mondovì section manages this hut. Book by email directly with the rifugio rather than through rifugio.net or cai.it, as availability information moves slowly on those platforms. Email booking typically gets a response within 2-3 days. July and August weekends fill steadily; aim to book 4-6 weeks ahead for these dates. Winter visits require advance notice and confirmation of heating and food supplies. The hut is quiet September through June—good months if you prefer fewer hikers.
