Raid à ski au Val d’Aoste : aventure alpine au Refuge de La Maggia

Ski tour in the Aosta Valley - La Maggia mountain hut

Nestled in the Val Saint-Barthélemy, the Maggia refuge is a small haven of peace still little known in the Aosta Valley. Located at an altitude of 2,000 meters, this staffed refuge is an ideal starting point for exploring the surrounding area according to each visitor’s wishes. Far from any hustle and bustle, the place exudes tranquility, tucked away at the edge of a larch forest. Its main advantage: it’s accessible as soon as the first snow falls, making it perfect for ski touring.
