The refuge Oriondé Duca degli Abruzzi was built and opened in 1929 by Mr Aimé Maquignaz, one of the ancestor of Maquignaz family. Rebuilt in 2012 today the hut offers 8 rooms with private bathroom.
I live not in myself, but I become portion of that around me; and to me high mountains are a feeling
A flat country, no matter how beautiful, it was never to my eyes. I need streams, rocks, wild pines, black woods, mountains, steep paths difficult to climb and descend, cliffs round about me instilling a lot of fear.
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau -
