Refuge d'E Capannelle

Status to be confirmed for the coming season: contact the establishment before planning a night here. Interior condition described in May 2022 (main door broken, roof redone in 2017): not confirmed since. Altitude varies by source (1,586 m on OSM and gr20-infos, 1,642 m on Wikipedia, 1,650 m on refuges.info). OSM lists the PNRC as operator, refuges.info the commune of Ghisoni as owner.

Unlike the other huts on the GR20, it has neither a warden nor a booking system: it has sleeping platforms for about fifteen people, a kitchen corner and a stove. It helps out those on a tight budget or serves as a shelter, but upkeep is irregular and you must be completely self-sufficient (sleeping bag, stove, food).

Season: Free access all year (unstaffed hut)
