About
Rifugio Alpe Campo sits at 1,550m in the Piedmont Alps, accessed via the Val d'Aosta side of the region. The hut lies on the long-distance trail network connecting lower valleys to higher passes. Most hikers reach it in 2.5 to 3 hours from Alagna Valsesia, following marked paths through open pasture and larch forest. The location works well as a base for day walks across the plateau or as a halfway point on multi-day traverses.
The rifugio operates year-round and offers 30 beds in basic shared rooms. Half-board is available; the kitchen serves straightforward mountain food. Water comes from the spring; there's no shower. The hut runs on CAI (Italian Alpine Club) principles—simple, functional, walker-friendly. Phone ahead to confirm bed availability, especially weekends.
Book through rifugio.net or by direct phone call. July and August fill quickly; book 4-6 weeks ahead for these months. June and September are quieter. The hut suits hikers wanting a genuine working mountain refuge, not a hotel. Come prepared for basic facilities and expect other walkers. Half-board costs roughly €50–60 per person per night.
