About
Rifugio Longon sits at 1,883m in the Piedmont Alps, accessible from the Val d'Aosta side via a marked trail that takes 2.5 to 3 hours from the roadhead. The hut serves as a base for day walks across rolling alpine pasture and access to peaks in the 2,500–2,700m range. Weather exposure is moderate; the surrounding terrain offers shelter from sudden storms.
The rifugio has 35 beds split across shared rooms. Meals are available—full board or half-board arrangements are standard. Hot showers and a small bar provide basic comfort. The hut operates year-round but sees heaviest use June through September. Winter access depends on snow conditions; call ahead to confirm.
Book by phone directly with the rifugio. July and August fill quickly; aim to book 4–6 weeks ahead for peak season. Shoulder months (May–June and September) offer better availability. The hut typically prefers advance notice for group bookings and can advise on current trail conditions and weather.
