Barbara Lowrie Hut
Alpine refuge, Bobbio Pellice
It is located at the head of the Comba dei Carbonieri, confluent of Val Pellice. The Comba, a deep and narrow valley, accompanies the tourist through the woods of chestnut, beech, the colours of service trees and laburnum up to a plateau where, among meadows and rhododendrons, we find the hut. It was born as a private hunting lodge and in 1931 was donated to the CAI UGET VALPELLICE Section by Barbara and Walter Lowrie.
Accessible by car, is the ideal destination for families as well as a starting point for more or less challenging trips. It is a must for fearless cyclists, today is a famous place also for boulder too.
