Rifugio Lago Verde

Rifugio Lago Verde is a managed mountain hut (rifugio) in the Cottian Alps of the Piedmont region in northern Italy. It sits at an elevation of 2,583 metres above sea level, directly on the shore of Lago Verde (Green Lake), above the Germanasca Valley, within the municipality of Prali in the Metropolitan City of Turin. The hut was built in 1968 by the Valle Germanasca section of the Club Alpino Italiano (CAI), Italy's national alpine club, which continues to own and operate it. As a rifugio, it provides essential services for hikers and mountaineers, including overnight accommodation, meals, and shelter, and is a key stopover on the 'blue route' of the Via Alpina long-distance trail. The facility is a commercial hospitality brand within the CAI network, offering a base for exploring the surrounding alpine terrain. Its official website is www.rifugiolagoverde.it.
