About
Rifugio Brusà sits at 1,350m in the Waldensian valleys south of Turin, Piedmont. This small refuge serves hikers traversing the low Alpine terrain between the Po Valley and the higher peaks. Reach it from Bobbio Pellice in 2.5 hours on foot, following marked trails through beech forest and pasture. The location works well as a base for day walks in the surrounding valleys or as a night stop on longer traverses.
The hut has 11 beds in simple rooms. Meals are available—book dinner in advance when you reserve your bed. The refuge runs year-round, though confirm opening dates before winter visits. Facilities are basic: no shower, but running water and toilets are standard. This is genuine mountain accommodation, not a resort. The owner manages the hut personally and keeps standards straightforward and honest.
Email or call directly to book. During summer weekends (June–September) book at least 2 weeks ahead. Outside those months, 3–5 days' notice usually works. There is no dedicated booking platform; direct contact is faster and preferred by the hut.
