Valle d'Aosta, Italy
About
Refuge de Moëde Anterne sits at 1,996m in the Vallon de la Lex Blanche, on the Italian side of the Gran Paradiso massif in Valle d'Aosta. Reach it from the village of Ceresole Reale via the Lago Serrù trail. The hut lies 2–3 hours on foot from the parking area. Summer access is straightforward; winter approaches require avalanche awareness and possibly skis depending on snow conditions.
The refuge holds 97 beds across dorm rooms and 13 private rooms. Meals are hearty and focus on local ingredients—expect polenta, soup, and meat dishes typical of Valle d'Aosta. The kitchen serves dinner and packed lunches on request. Water comes from the stream; there is no shower. The hut opens mid-June through September, with limited shoulder-season availability. Staff can advise on conditions for adjacent peaks and passes.
Book directly by phone as soon as your travel dates are fixed—July and August fill quickly. Weekends in good weather attract significant traffic from Turin and Milan. Expect a 50–60 euro/night rate for dorm beds and substantially more for private rooms. Confirm cancellation policy when you call, as mountain weather can change plans rapidly.
