Gonella Hut

The Gonella Hut (French: Refuge Francesco Gonella; Italian: Rifugio Francesco Gonella), sometimes called in Italian Rifugio del Dôme[1] or in French Refuge du Dôme ("Dôme Hut"), is a high elevation mountain hut in the Aosta Valley in the Mont Blanc massif area of the Alps.

It lies at an elevation of 3071 metres, above Val Veny near Courmayeur in Italy.

The refuge is located on the Italian normal route to Mont Blanc.

[2] [3] [4] The hut was rebuilt between August 2006 and July 2011, and offers accommodation for 60 people, and is wardened between mid-July and mid-September.

At an elevation of 2,650 m the trail finally leaves the Miage glaciers and rises over steep rocks to the hut.
