Nature, adventure, peace

For over a century, the Emilio Questa Hut – perched at 2,388 meters beside Lake Portette, above the Valasco Valley in Italy’s Cuneo province – has been the ideal base for hiking in the heart of the Maritime Alps.

Easily reachable with just a few hours’ walk, the Emilio Questa Hut welcomes you every year from June to September, whether for a short break or a longer stay. Relax in the café-restaurant on the ground floor with a quick snack or a traditional meal made with care. Or enjoy the peace and silence of a night at high altitude in the dormitories… before setting off on your next adventure!

L’avamposto

In Terme di Valdieri, right at the start of the trail to the “Questa” Hut, you’ll find L’AVAMPOSTO – a traditional mountain rest stop offering accommodations. It’s the perfect place to relax before starting your ascent to the hut, or to rest after returning to the valley.
