The story of the Rifugio Alimonta is a story of passion – in a place where rock dominates the landscape and the peaks seem sculpted by time, every design choice must face the challenges of high altitude without compromising on aesthetics and functionality. In 1968, the Alimonta family decided to build a mountain hut that would serve as a guardian of these lands and a point of reference for those who venture into the mountains. Since then, four generations of mountain guides have carried on a commitment rooted in love for the mountains and care for those who experience them.
Today, the hut is managed by Raffaele, son of Ezio, together with his wife Annarita and their little daughter Annamaria. Their philosophy is clear – to offer hospitality that combines respect for natural resources with comfort for guests, in a setting where every detail is designed to stand the test of time.
Raffaele, with a degree in Architecture and Green Building, knows these mountains and the needs of those who live them. Combining the management of the refuge with his experience as an architect in his studio in Spiazzo (TN), he envisioned spaces that were more than simple bathrooms: places of well-being, designed for those seeking warmth and practicality at high altitude. His deep knowledge of materials was the key to creating spaces that are not only beautiful to look at but also easy to manage and maintain over time.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
