Important notes

Decisions regarding the weather are entirely in the hands of the guides who are the greatest experts on the mountain.

In case of light rain or similar the tour will take place.

If the bad weather is such that there are no safe conditions (fortunately it rarely happens in summer), we propose alternative routes or changes of the date (even if this is not always possible).

In the event that it is not possible to avoid cancellation, unfortunately in some cases the services still apply penalties (generally not the Alpine refuges but some hotels in very tourist areas such as Mont Blanc do).

Therefore, in the event of unavoidable cancellation, the amount paid will be refunded, minus only any penalties applied by the services.

Please return the attached file completed for each participant, which serves as a guide for a better understanding of the group.

OVERNIGHT STAY IN REFUGE

When we climb above 2000 meters our point of view inevitably changes. The air becomes thinner and the gaze becomes clearer. From up here the totality of the world of which we are part is more evident. Far from the conventions and comforts of the city we find the free and uncontaminated space of the mountains.

We abandon everyday habits to follow forgotten rhythms and unforgettable suggestions that bring us back to the essentiality of our lives and reconcile us with nature.

Choosing a stay in a mountain refuge means confronting this way of life.

Often there are no rooms or individual rooms, the spaces are shared, you sleep in a large dormitory, you eat at the table with other people and you use shared bathrooms. These moments of community life they will allow you to meet hikers and mountaineers with whom you can share the experiences of the day and create new encounters.

• The accommodations are in dormitories or dorms for 4-6 people, depending on the structure.

• Upon request, but depending on the refuge, it is possible to have a private room for just 2 people

• To spend the night you need to have your own sleeping bag, as well as a light pillowcase for your pillows.

• Meals are freshly cooked by the staff, who can also prepare sandwiches for excursions.

• For particular dietary needs we ask you to let us know at the time of booking.

• The kitchen is not that of a restaurant and meals are served at fixed times and usually with 2 menu choices.

• In the refuges it is possible to make phone calls and sometimes even surf the internet, as well as buy snacks and drinks

• Bathrooms have showers and hot water, sometimes limited depending on availability. In some remote facilities, a supplement may be required for hot water in the shower.
