Additional Information
Nestled in the Rissuolo valley, in the beautiful Valle Vogna, along the normal route to Corno Bianco, Carestia Hut was established in 1995 to replace the previous, now unsafe, structure.
It is dedicated to Antonio Carestia, a renowned botanist and mountaineer with international fame, closely connected to this valley.
The hut features a restaurant hall, shared facilities and showers, electric lighting, and 20 beds. It is the perfect place for a quiet stay in an alpine environment far from stress.
The trip to Carestia Hut is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful ascents in Alta Valsesia. The trail winds through the wild Valle Vogna, where the eponymous stream has carved a deep and winding gorge over centuries, forming breathtaking canyons and poetic expanses, with intact mountain villages along the way.
Everywhere, you can feel an ancient atmosphere, where the past emerges discreetly and blends with the present-day rural economy shaped by cultivated fields and local alpine communities.
It is recommended to be accompanied by a UIAGM Mountain Guide.
Monte Rosa is the beginning and continuity of the history of Alagna,the small Walser village clinging to its southern wall. The refuges of Monte Rosa (Margherita Hut, Gnifetti Hut, Pastore Hut, Carestia Hut and Barba Ferrero Hut) are all part of its history and Alpine tradition and are the proud results of those who wanted and managed them for more than 100 years.
