    From Usseglio it is possible to call to Rifugio Vulpot and they pick you up! Stayed there one night this week, recommended! The old mulattiera from Vulpot to colle Croce Ferro is great to walk. Just down the colle on the other side is another Rifugio whose contact info I've mislaid. Open from middle of July till end of August, on weekends in September. Reservation by phone or e-mail recommeded.
