Rifugio Chaligne In Gignod

Gorgeous place The staff and owners are kind and professional The food is excellent: a homemade cake to die for Recommendation: go there

An unforgettable experience in a welcoming and meticulously maintained refuge! Managed with passion by the owners, always kind and helpful, as are the entire staff, always smiling. The typical Aosta Valley cuisine is a true delight, authentic dishes rich in authentic flavors. The sky boxes are a must-see, ideal for relaxing under a breathtaking starry sky. To top it all off, a romantic trout pond, friendly alpacas nearby, and, in the background, the majestic Matterhorn. A corner of paradise in the mountains, worth experiencing and highly recommended!

Food and place are great but at 2130 you are kicked out of the common area and have nowhere else to go but your dorm.

Posto bellissimo , personale carinissimo e gentile penso che ritornerò con amici anche il prossimo anno a mangiare la loro favolosa torta

We had a wonderful stay at Refugio Chaligne. The food was excellent—plentiful, delicious, and made with high-quality local ingredients. While the price might seem high at first glance, the value for money is absolutely worth it. The hut itself is beautifully maintained and exceptionally clean. We especially enjoyed relaxing by the small pond with its lovely view of the neighboring valley, and the cappuccino at the kiosk was a nice touch after our hike. After arriving, we spent three to four peaceful hours simply unwinding and enjoying the atmosphere. What truly made the experience special was the hospitality. The owners and staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and open. We also appreciated that they spoke Italian, French, and English, which made communication very easy. And yes, card payment is possible when the internet connection is stable. All in all, it was a great experience—we left feeling relaxed and happy. Highly recommended!

One of the most beautiful places in the Valle d'Aosta.

We had a nice walk, the area near the refuge is very beautiful and well-kept. I can't say anything about the refuge itself as it hadn't opened for the season when we were there.

"Summer" refuge well managed by the affable and friendly owners. Typical Aosta Valley cuisine with excellent dishes and excellent desserts (the Chaligne cake in particular!!!). Comfortable rooms.... And a couple of "Sky boxes" to admire the starry sky. Easy to reach via the farm road either on foot or by bicycle. In addition to the cows from the nearby mountain pasture, there are some alpacas used as walking companions. Must visit!!!
