Rifugio Città di Mantova

Situated at 3,498 meters above sea level on the Garstelet Glacier, Rifugio Città di Mantova is a crucial base camp for ascents to the highest peaks of the Monte Rosa massif, including Punta Gnifetti (Capanna Margherita). It offers basic but comfortable dormitory-style accommodation, a restaurant serving hearty mountain meals, and stunning panoramic views. It's accessible by cable car to Punta Indren, followed by a demanding glacier hike. Reservations are essential due to its popularity and limited capacity (approx. 80 beds). Prices for half-board typically range from €60-€80 per person per night.
