Margherita Hut

The views from Margherita hut of surrounding Piedmont and Monte Rosa are breath taking, visited end of June, there was plenty of snow and surrounded by snow cap mountains. The kitchen was busy and the place gets a lot of climbers who stay the night or just visit for the day. Unfortunately, we could not have Margherita Pizza s they were out of stock that day. Food was better then Capanna Gnifetti, if you are are a vegetarian or vegan, note the choice is limited. Hot water costs €8 and pasta costs €15 for example Moving on to bedrooms, they are well kept and each bed is of decent size, the windows are well insulated to keep elements out, only issue is some rooms have a curtain and not door so you can hear people walking up and down stairs, but this depends on the room you get. The views from rooms are amazing which ever way you look. Toilets: there is only one toilet per floor and it can get busy specially around 4am in the morning and again around 8pm after dinner before bed time. The toilets have no water and you need to use the stick to push the poo down through the hole with the toilet paper and stick. There are no bathrooms or sinks for brushing teeth. Booking is necessary in advance as this place can get busy. Staff were courteous but limited in number and a lot to deal with during busy periods. They have also been kind to offer a birthday cake slice for a friend who celebrated birthday on Margherita hut.

Highest hotel in Europe! Basic rooms. Toilet does not have flushing! That itself is an experience!! Fresh food at the top!!! Must place for trek lovers.

Awesome place, warm people, everything is perfect. Be careful, some people think this is a good place to steal. Thankfully the people working there were very supportive. Thank you.

The highest hut in Europe and still such quality. The food is of godly quality, really we had Roast beef on 4550m height, also fresh fruit. The rooms are not as specious and a lot of people are sick here. Also no running water so you have to buy it. But free tea in the morning. The hike to the hut is easy, F- or less. No crevasses or ice climbing Most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen

best place at this hight. no contest, but what can you say? food is amazing, dinner is definitely enough to fill even the hungriest mountaineers up. of course there are not as many amenities as down in the valley but for what is basically a polar station in extreme circumstances, it is still surprising how comfortable the stay is. thanks to the staff!

Simply amazing. You might wander why a hut is built in such a place, or who had this crazy idea. Reality is that the prize at the end of the ascent is a very welcoming place, where you can get restoration, rest and enjoy a sight that is breathtaking. A well furnished library gives you the chance to enjoy your stay reading about mountains or search for inspirations for the next hikes. Btw, free wi-fi is available in case you need. Must book in advance and must get there with an experienced guide or being an experienced mountaineer

Amazing high alpine Refuge! Staff is as relaxed and nice as can be at 4500 meters above sea Level! Very explicit instructions for natures call ;) Had an amazing time despite of altitude sickness

Best hut in the alps! Last stop on Spaghetti tour, super nice service, unbeatable location. The dinner was rather a super nice feast with spare ribs, roasted potatoes etc.
