It is located at an altitude of 3647m (11,965feet), and provides access to mountaineers climbing any of the fifteen nearby 4,000 metre high summits of the Monte Rosa massif, and gives access to high-level glacier routes as well as to the Margherita Hut, located on the Signalkuppe.[1] [2]

The refuge is named after Italian mountaineer and parish priest from Alagna Valsesia, Giovanni Gnifetti.[3]
