Alpe Rebelle In Bionaz

01/10/2025: Reachable from both the Oropa sanctuary in the Biella area and the Gressoney Valley in the Aosta Valley. Starting from Coumarial, follow a path through the woods, but you can also take the farm road. The hike takes about 3 hours, even less if you're a bit fit. The refuge, practically a small hotel, is made of stone and can be glimpsed as you reach the hill above the small dam. Camouflaged and very beautiful. Super welcoming, excellent lunch with plenty of choice. A mountain setting with beautiful lakes. The circular route is interesting: Coumarial-Oropa or vice versa if there's the possibility of being accompanied and picked up by car. September 2025

16/09/2025: The refuge is located along the Alta Via 1. It stands out for its architecture and location. It is well-maintained, clean, and tidy. A beautiful and welcoming refuge. The staff and the refuge manager are passionate about their work, and hospitality is undoubtedly a strong point. The dishes served are of excellent quality and variety. The cellar is well-stocked, and you can order wine by the glass. The price includes a varied and plentiful sweet and savory breakfast, a three-course dinner, a first course and a second course with a side dish of your choice, at least three different options for each course. The portions are adequate, along with a choice of dessert, and three types of bread. Drinks are not included. A hot shower is included with no time limit. The bathrooms are clean and spacious. The rooms are heated. Boots can be left outside, on a designated rack at the entrance, and several pairs of slippers are available. Absolutely flawless! Highly recommended.
