The Cesare Dalmazzi Refuge, named after the mountaineer from Turin, is located in Val Ferret in one of the most beautiful areas of the Mont Blanc Massif: the Triolet Glacier. The first construction of a shelter on the site dates back to 1892. The hut was built in 1932 and later extended in the 1980s. It was extensively renovated in 2003.
In addition to being an excellent base for climbing multipitch routes on the splendid granite of the Mont Blanc massif, the hut is also the place to simply enjoy beautiful views.
