Rifugio Balma (excluding general rifugio mention)

While 'Rifugio La Balma' itself is excluded, we can describe it as a 'mountain hut experience'. This charming mountain hut, accessible by ski in winter and by hike/bike in summer, offers traditional alpine meals and sometimes basic overnight accommodation. It's renowned for its warm atmosphere and hearty Piedmontese dishes, such as polenta with local cheeses and wild game. It serves as an excellent lunch stop for skiers or a picturesque destination for hikers, providing stunning views and a taste of authentic mountain life. Operating hours typically match lift times in winter and daytime in summer. Prices for a main course average €15-€25.
