Pont-Saint-Martin motorway exit. At the Pont-Saint-Martin exit of the A5, turn right and follow the signs for Turin. At the first roundabout turn left and follow the signs for the valley of Gressoney. Go into the built-up area of Pont-Saint-Martin and after approximately 500 metres take the road which branches off to the right and carry on along the regional road of the valley of Gressoney. Go past the towns of Lillianes, Fontainemore, Issime, Gaby and Gressoney-Saint-Jean. Having reached the built-up centre of Gressoney-La-Trinité carry straight on until you reach the hamlet of Staffal.
From here you need to take a cableway and then a chair lift until you reach the Colle Bettaforca at 2,670 metres. The path starts at Colle della Bettaforca which takes you to the refuge in approximately 3 hours on foot. The path is easy and well indicated except for the last section of the ridge which has some exposed parts but is nevertheless equipped with fixed ropes to use as handrails; take care in the event of snow or ice.

The nearest train station is at Pont-Saint-Martin.
Scheduled coach service as far as Gressoney-La-Trinité (approximately 10 trips a day).
