Savoia

The Savoia Mountain Hut (2,534 m) stands on the picturesque Nivolet plateau, a short distance from the lake of the same name, within the Gran Paradiso – Valsavarenche National Park. The hut is an ideal starting point for hikes and climbs in the heart of the park.

The building is the result of the renovation of one of King Victor Emmanuel II’s historic hunting lodges, dating back to 1860, and still retains an authentic charm steeped in tradition.

The Savoia Mountain Hut currently comprises three buildings: the main building, which houses the restaurant and guest rooms; a cosy bar; and a more secluded annexe nestled in the tranquillity of nature.

At the Savoia Mountain Hut, you can savour the authentic flavours of the mountains: the self-service kitchen offers wholesome dishes, inspired by the traditions of the Aosta Valley, prepared with simple, high-quality ingredients to provide a warm and authentic culinary experience.

The mountain hut is open only in summer and can also be reached by car via Ceresole Reale in Piedmont.
