About
Refuge d'Ubine sits at 1,490m in the Piedmont Alps, accessible via hiking routes from the Valle d'Aosta. The approach takes 2-3 hours depending on your trailhead. It works as a base for day walks into surrounding ridges and valleys, or as a stopping point on longer traverses through the region.
The refuge manages 43 beds split across dormitories and 5 private rooms. Meals are served daily—book your evening meal when you reserve beds. Hot showers are available. The hut operates year-round, though staffing and services are more limited November through March. Half-board (bed and meals) is standard; day visitors are welcome for lunch if space allows.
Book by email or phone directly with the refuge, especially for private rooms or weekends during July and August. Summer weekends fill 4-6 weeks ahead. If you're planning a May or June visit, 2-3 weeks notice is usually sufficient. Call ahead in winter to confirm the hut is staffed before making the approach.
