Demanding
About
Rifugio Pagarì sits at 2,627m in the Ligurian Alps of Piedmont, accessible from the Colle di Langan trailhead. The approach takes 2 to 3 hours on a well-marked path. The hut serves as a base for ridge walks and peaks in this quieter corner of the Western Alps, away from the Mont Blanc crowds.
The refuge holds 24 beds across simple rooms. Meals are available—typically pasta and mountain fare. Hot showers and basic heating are standard. The hut opens year-round but sees most traffic June through September. Winter access depends on snow conditions and hut staffing, so confirm ahead.
Book through the managing club, CAI Ligure (Genova section). Contact by email or phone before your trip, especially for July and August weekends when beds fill quickly. Winter visits need 2 weeks' notice. The hut is straightforward and functional—expect no frills, solid food, and a reliable base for high-ridge hiking in the Maritime Alps.
