The Refuge Torino ((イタリア語:Rifugio Torino)) is a high mountain refuge in the Alps in northwestern Italy. Located near the border with France, it is about southwest of Mont Dolent, the tripoint with Switzerland. The refuge is in the Mont Blanc massif in the Graian Alps, in the towns of Courmayeur in the Aosta Valley, Italy. It can be accessed from the Italian side by the Monte Bianco cable car from La Palud in Courmayeur, with a change at the Pavilion du Mont Fréty.〔 The refuge lies nearly directly above the Mont Blanc Tunnel, which connects Courmayer to Chamonix. ==Description== The original Refuge Torino was built by the Torino section of the Club Alpino Italiano in 1898, near the cable car station.

A panoramic trail, accessible during the summer, also leads to the new refuge.〔 From the refuge, climbers can descent to the Toula Glacier or the Vallée Blanche, or do one of the numerous ascents on ice in the Combe Maudit and Mont Blanc du Tacul basins. Other popular mountaineering excursions in the area are the Dent du Géant (Giant's Tooth), the Rochefort ridge, the Tour Ronde, the Aiguille d'Entrèves, Grand Capucin, and the Tacul satellites.〔 In the summer, the Refuge Torino operates a bar and restaurant with a terrace that offers panoramic views of all the surrounding peaks of the Aosta Valley, the Savoy, and the Valais.
