Where we are

Where is the Rifugio Rivetti

The Rivetti refuge is nestled against the first southern Alpine crests, at 2150m above sea level,

a quarter of an hour’s walk below the Colle della Mologna Grande.

Beyond the crests, the view wanders between the Aosta Valley, Swiss and Piedmont Alps,

while below lies the vast Po Valley
