The Emilio Questa Mountain Hut (2,388 m) stands on a rocky peak on the northern shore of Lac des Portette, in the heart of a vast valley surrounded by the peaks of Portette, Claus, and Prefouns. It is an ideal spot for nature hikes: visitors can spot chamois, ibex, marmots, and the iconic bearded vulture.

In the spacious ground-floor dining room, furnished with wooden furniture, or at the tables on the outdoor terrace, you can enjoy the finest specialties of Piedmontese cuisine, or simply relax at the bar. For those who wish to stay overnight, options include dormitory-style rooms in the lodge, spots in the Mongolian yurt, or exclusive private cabins. The building also features a flat rocky “platform” used as a helipad, primarily for security and rescue services.

The refuge is located along several local and international hiking trails of varying difficulty and characteristics (GTA, GTM, Via Alpina Red Route); many others, while not passing directly by “Questa,” are nearby and easily accessible.
