Refuge Levi-Molinari

The LEVI-MOLINARI refuge is located in the upper Susa Valley, around 80 km from Turin, in the commune of Exilles at an altitude of 1,849 m. It lies in the Galambra range, home to the last glaciers of the Susa Valley, on the edge of a larch forest, in the heart of a FULLY PROTECTED RESERVE, a GEO-SITE OF REGIONAL INTEREST, home to a large number of species of wildlife (ibex, deer, chamois, wolves, bearded vultures, eagles, etc.), which can often be spotted on your excursions. It is one of the largest bouldering sites in Piedmont, and around thirty rock-climbing routes have been developed for families and climbing schools (with the possibility of organising and accompanying hikes or day trips with a nature trail guide who speaks Italian, French, English and German). Since 2010 the Levi-Molinari refuge has held the YES! QUALITY LABEL awarded by the Turin Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts, and since 2013 it has held the Q - "ITALIAN HOSPITALITY" LABEL.
