About
Rifugio Delfo e Agostino Coda sits at 2,280m in the Gran Paradiso massif, accessed via the Valsavarenche valley. Most parties approach from Pont Savin, a 2-hour hike gaining 500m through larch forest to reach the hut. The location anchors several ridge traverses and peak routes across the park, making it useful for mountaineers as well as day hikers.
The hut holds 50 beds spread across multiple rooms. Half-board and full-board meals are available, with the kitchen handling vegetarian requests if notified ahead. There's a small bar and basic shower facilities. The refuge operates from June through September, with limited services in shoulder months. Staff can advise on conditions for the Gran Paradiso summit (4,061m), which many parties tackle from here as a 2-day push.
Book by phone directly with the hut for July and August; these months fill 6–8 weeks in advance. Outside peak season, same-day booking is usually possible. Contact via the CAI Biella section or phone the refuge directly. Check opening dates before planning a spring or autumn trip, as staffing can shift the exact season.
