Mountain hut with rooms Balbieres

The Balbieres Mountain Hut is located in Piedmont, in the Upper Susa Valley, at an elevation of 1,500 meters in the hamlet of the same name within the municipality of Cesana Torinese.
The mountain hut is open on weekends, holidays, and during school breaks or long weekends in April, May, September, and October; it is open daily in June, July, and August.
Closed on Wednesdays for staff rest days.

Open by reservation during other periods for groups of at least 15 people.

Balbieres can be reached on foot via the dirt road to Desertes, which starts from State Road 24 at Monginevro.
From Turin and France, follow signs for Oulx–Cesana Torinese. At km 84, on the right, there are two entrances to the road leading to Desertes, where you can park your car. (There are additional parking spots 100 m from these entrances; the last one is before the bridge over the Dora River.)
Head toward Desertes, crossing the bridge. After about 500 meters, ignore the turnoff on the left for Desert – Colletto Grigio – Fenils and continue on the wide dirt road.
After traveling about 3 km, take the right fork marked for the hamlet of Balbieres; 300 meters further on, at the top of the village, you’ll find the mountain hut. The entire route is well marked with signs. (1 hour)
