Rifugio Gastaldi, Municipality of Balme

The Rifugio-Museo Bartolomeo Gastaldi: set up inside the old Rifugio Gastaldi, it is especially a museum of itself, wanted by the Turin Section of the Italian Alpine Club, as a detached seat of the National Mountain Museum. The exhibition is placed in what used to be the dining room, where many photographs tell the story of the building, since the year 1880, of local alpinism, recalling great names of the alpine guides that made its history.www.rifugiogastaldi.com
