About
Cabane de Loz sits at 1,850m in the Piedmont Alps, serving as a base for hikers and mountaineers working the high passes and peaks of the region. Access is via hiking trails from the valleys below—expect 3–4 hours from the nearest road-accessible starting point, depending on your approach. The hut works well for climbers tackling the surrounding 3,000m+ summits or for trekkers crossing between valleys.
The refuge sleeps 12 in simple dormitory accommodation. It serves meals (book ahead) and provides basic facilities: water, heating, and a kitchen for self-catering if needed. The season typically runs June through September, closing during winter and shoulder months. Standards are basic but functional—come prepared for mountain simplicity.
Book well ahead for July and August. Contact the hut directly or check rifugio listings through CAI (Club Alpino Italiano) regional sections, as management details vary. Weekends fill quickly even outside peak summer. Confirm opening dates before traveling, as weather can force early closures or late openings in spring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book at least 2–3 weeks ahead during July–August, especially if you need meals; shoulder seasons (June, September) are more flexible. Contact via rifugi.net or directly through CAI affiliates for current booking procedures.
Typically open June through September, with peak staffing July–August; confirm dates with the hut before planning, as weather and staffing can affect shoulder-season availability.
Access is 3–4 hours on foot from the nearest valley trailhead; there is no vehicle access, so you'll hike in with your pack or use a porter service if available.
12-bed dormitory rooms, cooked meals (half-board and full-board available if booked in advance), and basic water/washing facilities; no hot showers, so bring wet wipes or use the stream.
Better suited to experienced hikers and mountaineers—the 3–4 hour approach and high-altitude exposure around 3,000m+ peaks mean it's not ideal for young children or those new to Alpine hiking.
