OUR HISTORY

Domenico Ferro Famil, known as Bertu Vulpot, an alpine guide from the Usseglio area, took over the management of the local establishment (formerly a border guard barracks stationed in Malciaussia) in the 1930′s and gave it the name "Albergo Vulpot". Subsequently, his son Renzo took over and the place was renamed Rifugio Escursionistico Vulpot.
Over the years, it has become a GCA post, a point of reference for mountain lovers and hikers.
