Rifugio G. Bertone

COURMAYEUR

  • 50 guests
  • 2000m
The Giorgio Bertone Refuge (2,000 m above sea level) is located in the Aosta Valley in the Pennine Alps in the municipality of Courmayeur. It is located northeast of the town and overlooks the Mont Blanc massif. It is located along the Alta Via No. 1 of the Aosta Valley.
The refuge was built in 1982 in memory of the mountaineer Giorgio Bertone, who died in a plane crash below the summit of Mont Blanc du Tacul in 1977.
The refuge can be reached via a panoramic hike that varies in its route, starting from Plampincieux, a locality at the entrance to the Val Ferret.
We recommend stopping at the orientation table, where the view is unparalleled.
Alternatively, you can depart directly from Courmayeur via the Val Sapin.
