Delfin dal Pianhol
5.0About
Delfin dal Pianhol sits at 1280m in Piedmont's foothills, making it a solid base for day hikes across rolling terrain and forested ridges. Access is straightforward by car or a 2–3 hour walk from the valley; the hut stands near several waymarked trails that branch into the surrounding uplands. The location works well for weekend trips or as a stopping point on longer traverses through lower Piedmont routes.
The rifugio sleeps around 40 people in mixed and private rooms. Half-board is standard; the kitchen serves regional Piedmont food. Hot showers and WiFi are available—rare at this elevation. The hut operates year-round, though winter opening depends on snow and road access. Phone ahead to confirm dates outside summer.
Book direct by phone, especially for weekends. July and August fill quickly; aim to reserve at least 4 weeks ahead for these months. Spring and autumn are less crowded but still busy weekends. Winter weekday visits often need no advance notice, but call first to check conditions and staffing. The hut takes groups; mention your party size when you call.
