In the Orsiera Rocciavrè park. Reachable only by paths, not all of which are ideal for MTB. The effort is rewarded by this splendid place.

The Valgravio refuge, near the Gravio stream, was built in 1928, then destroyed during the Second World War, rebuilt and expanded after the war. Today it is an essential destination for those who walk in the Orsiera-Rocciavré park. The manager, Mario Sorbino, keeps the dining room and the rooms in the best possible condition.

Unfortunately, the upper lake is full of rotting plants. Swimming is not recommended unless you are a frog. Unfortunately, the smell is not that great either. So I quickly left. The lake near the parking lot looks a little better. The restaurant is a nice place to stay.
