Rifugio Barma In Fontainemore

I completed the Tor in 2025 and found this place amazing! The polenta and beer were great. Top notch location and personnel. Thank you very much for everything!

An incredible retreat, not only for its location and the beauty of the property, but above all because it feels like a luxury hotel. The room was perfect and warm, and the dinner was 5-star. Congratulations for everything!

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

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.

Coming up from Biella, after a walk, we stopped here for lunch. We found an excellent menu with dishes prepared with local ingredients and traditional recipes. Highly recommended! Very friendly staff.

The location is enchanting, the place is spotless. Large rooms with beautiful views and comfortable beds. The food is superb, and the wine cellar is no exception. 😉🍷 The staff, however, is top notch! ♥️ Kind, patient, and always smiling, they work to make you feel at home... so much so that you'll never want to leave!! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to relax and unwind from the stresses of modern life 😊

Really beautiful retreat with delicious food and professional staff, thank you for your hospitality 😍

An enchanting refuge and a splendid base for those like us hiking the Sentiero Italia. A "luxury" refuge that blends perfectly with the beauty of these mountains.

Modern, clean, and excellent food. Far beyond expectations and far more professional than any other Biellese hut in the area. Top-notch!

always nice and staff always kind and smiling
