Rifugio Guglielmina was an historic alpine hut on the South side of the Monte Rosa range at 2880 m above sea level, situated in the commune of Alagna Valsesia, Piedmont, Italy. Built in 1878 (or the 1860s according to one source),[1] it was destroyed by fire on 22 December 2011.[2]
It had been described as "Europe’s highest hotel", and until its destruction it was run by the great-grandson of the original builder.[1]
In January 2013 the owners, the families Guglielmina and Calaba, announced that they could not afford to reconstruct the building.[3]
