Annalisa
August 13, 2025, Cascate del Rutor – Rifugio Alberto Deffeyes giro ad anello con partenza da La Thuile

One of the most beautiful tours I've ever done. We managed to complete it with my 9-year-old daughter and our dog. The only drawback is that there are no drinking fountains up to the refuge. For the dog, however, there are plenty of small streams.

Beautiful excursion. The three waterfalls are spectacular and once you reach the Albert Deffeyes Hut you are faced with the massive Rutor glacier. Too bad that Komoot at some point decided not to work anymore 😔😔
